Does Diversification Still Work?

Welcome to The Market Moment podcast! In this episode, Matt, Lee, and Eli discuss the current sentiments surrounding "the market" and portfolios. Sometimes when people say "the market" they're referring to the S&P 500 and not the overall market which includes international, small businesses, and bonds, all things which have not been performing well. While people are claiming "the market" is doing well, what they might really mean is the S&P 500, which is being heavily pulled up by the Magnificent 7, the big tech companies.
Some people wonder if this will lead to a bubble or if it's a concentrated market. People say "the market" is doing well, but many feel as if the economy is in terrible shape. Looking at the typical well-balanced portfolio, some may feel they're underperforming, especially if they're comparing their returns to that of the S&P 500.....
Matt, Lee and Eli ask the question: Does diversification still work? Listen to find out!

I feel that retirees may be better off with a goal of x% over current inflation as an objective.
When fixed income and/or safety of principle is critical, attempting to keep up with a stock market return is not the correct goal.
