June 26, 2026 - Jerry and Christi discuss one of the most important principles in investing: diversification. They break down the differences between stocks and bonds, explain asset allocation in simple terms, and discuss why building a balanced portfolio is often more important than finding the next hot stock. They also explore how risk and return are connected, why investors are often tempted to chase the latest investment trend, and how diversification can help smooth out the ups and downs of the market over time. Plus, they explain the famous "stained glass window" approach to investing and why spreading your investments across different asset classes can help keep your long-term financial plan on track.
