So much is made about this tool of asset management, but how much does the average investor actually know? As a brief overview, rebalancing is getting your investment allocation to the appropriate target.  For example, if your portfolio is comprised of 60% in risk assets (i.e. stocks) and 40% in conservative assets (i.e. bonds) and one piece of that moves differently and throws the balance off, rebalancing helps to get you back to your original allocation. In the simplest form, rebalancing buys the assets that have gone below the allocation threshold you would like to be at and sells the assets that have gone over. And you rebalance so that you can maintain the appropriate level of risk in your portfolio and to help stay on track to reach long-term financial goals.  But what does the research say about rebalancing? And what is the common sense approach when it comes to this tool? Tune in to this week’s episode to hear us dive into the nuts and bolts of rebalancing and how you can use it in your financial life. For more details, please visit the show notes on our website: https://www.moneyguy.com/2018/10/a-different-take-on-rebalancing/
Hey Money Guy Show Family! Cash is making money again. That’s right. Times are changing and you can generate income from cash again.

Now, cash is making a comeback and it can yield over 2% today in high-yield savings accounts and over 2.5% in a 1-year CD and 3% for longer term CDs. We’re at the point now where we all should start paying attention to cash as an asset class that can yield a return and what you can do about it.
