Does it make sense to diversify? Interview with Michael Edesess -Season 1: Episode 7

Is asset allocation as a strategy a good idea, or is it an exercise in futility? What about annuities?

Christopher Panagiotu, CFP®, CRPS®, continues his interview with Michael Edesess, Chief Investment Strategist with Compendium Finance. This section gets even deeper into the topic of diversification, as well as Warren Buffett’s style of investing, and Michael’s opinions on both asset allocation and whether annuities could be a good idea to include in someone’s portfolio.
