You touched on the issue of bonds being riskier than stocks.

And before you scream at me, a lot of research has come out over the last few years that shows pretty convincingly that 100% equity portfolio is the best and most efficient in retirement.

Go watch Ben Felix.

Do you know Ben Felix? Now, he's a

portfolio manager at PWL Capital in Canada, and he runs the Common Sense Investing YouTube channel and co-hosts the Rational Reminder podcast.

Wade Pfau, I think he talks about that.

Ben Felix, yes.

And it's important to be able to differentiate between the positions to understand some of the common practices and the steps you can take to better protect yourself.

Now, before going any further, I do want to acknowledge that, as mentioned, Ben Felix likewise did a video on this exact topic.
