As an offshoot of our weekly podcasts – and to encourage your participation – we occasionally feature responses to listeners’ questions.
A listener sent in a question about the practice of diversifying investments, often compared with the wisdom of not putting all of one’s eggs in the same basket. This investor, however, tried to equate diversification to betting on race horses.
The response includes a lesson in correlation theory. Please click on the audio player above to hear how Bob Landaas, president of Landaas & Company, handles the question.
