0.000 HBDRay Dalio's All Seasons Weather Portfolio for Investing
Hey guy :) If you read Tony Robbins Money Master the Game or Ray Dalio - Principles books you will hear they talk about an All-seasons portfolio. An investment portfolio that is able to weather all seasons of the economy. to understand a bit more about the "Seasons of the economy" see my other article on What are the Seasons of the economy for investing. Here I give a brief example of a portfolio that I made going off the general basis of this principle. By no means do I expect this to be a bullet proof portfolio. This portfolio has the structure of being safe, but, also due to my age/risk level/experience level, I altered it a tiny bit for a bit more growth potential. This is just to show you to give you an idea. I am sure there are many better ways to create a portfolio like this! Have fun!  Asset Allocation My All Seasons Portfolio Bond’s 1.
