    Feb 2 2026

    Agree with us? Think we're crazy? Let us know on the Twitter. Find Bob here, and Nelson is here.

  • Ep 17 - Is The 60/40 Portfolio Dead?
    Jan 19 2026

    This week on the pod Bob and Nelson discuss the death of the 60/40 portfolio, and how so many investors just don't hold bonds altogether. Is this a smart strategy, or are investors who move into 100% equity portfolios taking on too much risk?


    As always, you can get more Bob in your life by visiting Tawcan, and Nelson can be found at Canadian Dividend Investing.
