Risk and Reward: An Efficient Frontier

November 7, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Originally posted July 26, 2018. The Efficient Frontier, created by Harry Markowitz in 1952, measures the efficient diversification of investments that delivers the highest level of return at the lowest possible risk. Investors must consider the trade-offs between risk and reward in their portfolios. You can see on the chart below an efficient frontier line […]

Buy Fixed Income Rates Not Seen in 22 Years

November 6, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You hear it all the time today. “I’m getting an incredible rate on my money,” or “I can get you this on your money.” And so on and so forth. Yes, Your Survival Guy can see it, too, especially with rates at levels we haven’t seen in around 22 years. Opportunities are everywhere for the […]

Are You Looking for Investment Counsel? 2 Questions

November 3, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Are you looking for investment counsel? If you are, then Your Survival Guy recommends asking these two questions first: “Are you a fiduciary?” and “Who is your custodian?” Because once you get the answers to those two questions, a lot of confusion and heartache can be avoided. Here’s why. When you work with a fiduciary, […]

Investing Habits of the Fairly Weathy: #5 Math

November 2, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Dear Fairly Wealthy Investor, You might be better off staying in bed. It’s that bad. One morning, you wake up, and there’s a full-page spread in the Wall Street Journal on the perils of a balanced portfolio. It reports how owning stocks and bonds in a 60-40 mix is dead. Nonsense. And it’s not just […]

“Survival Guy, What’s Your Take on the Dollar?”

November 1, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

There’s a tremendous amount of concern out there about the future of the dollar. I know this because you tell me in my conversations with you. And that’s why we talk. I want to know your concerns. And believe me, I know today’s concerns are different than yesterday’s. Welcome to current times. “Survival Guy, what’s […]

The Magical Word We’re Taught in School

October 31, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Not to bore you with math, but investing is math. Hoping for a stock to get to some price is just that, a hope. It’s qualitative, not quantitative. Collecting income from all areas of your portfolio—even that money your nephew owes you—is quantitative. You can actually see it hit your portfolio, your bank account, or […]

Investing Is Math

October 30, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Sorry to burst your bubble, but investing is math. Sure, prices are fun to watch, but they aren’t the math of collecting income from your stocks, bonds, or that nephew who owes you. That’s math. You can see the money, rent, dividends, income, and even crumpled dollars coming into your possession. That’s investing. Look at […]

If You’re Overexposed to Stocks, Then Look Here

October 27, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

If you’re overexposed to the stock market, it’s been a long time since risk-free Treasury bills offered yields like these. Yields you can sink your teeth into and do it again in a few months. Your Survival Guy isn’t in the prediction business. Predictability is not something you can say about tech-heavy Nasdaq, for example. […]

Investing Habits of the Fairly Wealthy: #6 Armadillo

October 26, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

When I was a kid, we took a lot of trips to Disney World, and when we were there, we stayed at Fort Wilderness. One day, a day off from the parks, my dad and I rented a canoe. Floating near the shore, we noticed these little animals digging in the dirt with what looked […]

Storming the Magic Kingdom: Wall Street and the Raiders…

October 25, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

When you look at the long-term advance of stocks over the past four decades, an observation worth noting: It was good to be 24 in 84. Meaning if you were young and hungry and happened to work on Wall Street, the world was your oyster. Until it wasn’t. Risk was rewarded, and a fair amount […]
