ANECDOTE

A Shift With A Heartbreaking Outcome

  • Jim shares a recent emergency shift story treating a 17-week pregnant patient whose water broke and the outcome was tragic.
  • He uses the example to thank clinicians for caring during patients' worst days.
INSIGHT

Avoid Market-Timing Mentality

  • Chasing a separate "recession-proof" portfolio tempts dangerous market-timing moves.
  • A static allocation with annual rebalancing forces you to buy low and removes timing bets.
ADVICE

Rebalance Annually And Buy The Loser

  • Rebalance your static asset allocation about once per year and buy the asset class that fell.
  • Use rebalancing as a disciplined way to buy low without predicting market direction.
