This is great. Is there a way to purchase a hard copy or does a hard copy exist?

Hi David,

Your book is the best thing I read so far in 2022, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

Quick question: As much as I agree that US bonds seem to have lost their "dampening" effect on portfolio volatility (thus making the 60/40 model not behave the way one would expect), is it really necessary to become a trader moving forward to expect real returns?

Most people certainly don't have time to adjust positions on a daily basis, so perhaps a compromise would be going from passive to active investor instead? That would entail keeping a close look on portfolio asset allocation, and rebalancing / adjusting weighting on a regular basis.

There are quite a few portfolio models that use this approach (e.g. Trinity by Meb Faber), and can potentially generate real returns without the burden of trading too frequently.

Thoughts?
