Is the S&P 500 Becoming a Riskier Strategy?

A few generations of investors were able to rely on the return from the S&P 500 and a 60/40 income strategy in retirement without too many issues. Today, Paul talks about why these investors benefited from a unique 20–30 year period in the world of investing that investors today will not likely get to enjoy. Listen along as Paul explains why this strategy for investing has become increasingly risky and why academic investing principles and diversification outside of large US companies is the best shot investors have at a portfolio that can get you through your retirement years. Later in the episode, Paul finds a WSJ called “I Just Wasn’t In the Mood to Work” that talks about how younger American workers don’t have the same approach to work as the previous generation and how new technology and a changing labor force are going to change how businesses think about labor moving forward.
