Barry Ritholtz suggests his all century portfolio better than Anthony Robbins all weather

Mr.Ritholtz(Barry) suggests all century as he believes Anthony Robbins is data mining by picking years start and stop carefully.

I suspect we would all agree that Barry's is better though some of us would make different suggestions

    Thanks for the post.
    Of interest, IMO; the 60/40 consideration, which is sensible for many. Another point is a 2 or 3 times per year rebalance, as needed; from the investor. Our portfolio is always at a potential point of rebalance, and not just an end of the year event. If one needs or wants to rebalance, it should not be based upon a calendar date.
    Note: as mentioned last week, even a simple U.S. lopsided holding of 50/50 of VTI and BND has a current YTD of 9.1%.
