  <title>8-4-26 The 60/40 Portfolio Is Not Dead</title>
  <description>Is the classic 60/40 portfolio really obsolete, or are investors making a costly mistake by abandoning bonds? Lance Roberts &amp;amp;amp; Jon Penn examine why fixed income still plays a critical role in portfolio construction, risk management, and long-term wealth preservation. We'll discuss why bonds remain valuable despite recent volatility, how they can improve diversification, and why chasing all-equity returns may expose investors to unnecessary risk. If you've been told that &amp;quot;bonds are dead,&amp;quot; this conversation offers a different perspective backed by history and current market conditions. 0:00 INTRO 1:12 - Space-X First Report Preview 4:16 - Market Consolidation Continues 6:00 - Sometimes the Best Thing to Do is Nothing 8:57 - Space-X Options? 9:44 - 60/40 Portfolio is Dead? 13:41 - The Case Against Bonds 19:16 - Correlation Matters 24:09 Why Gold Does Not Belong in Bond Side of Portfolio 28:07 - Why We Own Certain Assets 31:02 - Understanding Beta 36:11 - Never Look at Bonds as a Hedge for Inflation 38:35 - Investing when it's &amp;quot;Safe&amp;quot; 39:36 - Inflation is not a Bad Thing 44:50 - Own Bonds, not ETF's Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan Penn, CFP&amp;amp;nbsp; Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?
