What if you could comprehend the complexities of modern portfolio theory and behavioral finance, while simultaneously exploring the concept of the American Dream? And what if you could do all this guided by the wisdom of renowned economist, Dr. Harry Markowitz? We proudly dedicate our latest episode to the monumental contributions of Dr. Markowitz, whose influential work has significantly shaped our portfolio strategy at SmartPlan Investing. From examining his breakthrough research on portfolio risk,  we honor the legacy of this Nobel laureate.

But, that's not all. We're extending our conversation to draw similarities between portfolio engineering and structural engineering. The risks inherent in both investing and adventure tourism are critically examined, asking whether we fully understand the dangers we're signing up for.  Finally, we introduce the American Dream Experience – a chance at transformation and realization of your dreams. Tune in as we pay homage to Dr. Markowitz, delve into risk management, and explore the path to your very own American Dream.
