#44. Don't let too much of a good thing leave you in financial ruin.
Show Notes

In this episode, Aaron and Trishul discuss concentration risk and when it might be acceptable to take it on. If you have the willingness, ability, and need, increasing your concentration risk may be a way to pursue wealth maximization over the greater probability of achieving a specific goal. But do understand that behavior and emotion can come into play when deciding whether to diversify. Even if you hold a globally diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds, or if you are sitting in cash, you might already have excessive concentration through your place of employment. So, in the end, consider employing a robust decision-making process to help you determine the appropriate level of risk that makes the most sense for your situation.
