In this eye-opening deep dive, we unpack the hard data showing that over 90% of your long-term returns come from asset allocation — how you divide money between stocks, bonds, and other categories — not from picking winning stocks. We explore Burton Malkiel’s A Random Walk Down Wall Street, the efficient market hypothesis, dollar-cost averaging, human capital, sequence of returns risk, and why traditional “safe” retirement advice may actually increase your chance of running out of money.
