In this episode we answer emails from Bradley, Chris and Andreas.  We discuss traditional versus Roth considerations in retirement accounts, REITs, some risk parity fundamentals about the interplay between asset classes and macroeconomic environments and how that relates to correlations, a recent risk parity backtest to 1926 and the real reasons to use small cap value allocations.  I'm telling you, fellas, you're gonna want that Cowbell!
