In this episode we answer two looooong emails from Mark and Andreas.  We discuss Mark's quandaries with a 457 plan and Andreas's Risk Parity fever brought on by topics that include how to choose ETFs for each asset class, leverage in bond funds, TIPS, a proposed portfolio, other alternatives like long-short, market neutral and options strategies and musings about taxes and currency exposures.   And then we conclude with Polo Hofer.
