Is It Really Better to Own More Stocks in Retirement? – Episode 192
If stocks are inherently risky, and if you’re retired and you’re risk-averse, doesn’t it make sense to lessen your exposure to the stock market as you get older? That’s the logic behind certain “rules of thumb” that say the older you are, the less money you should have in stocks.
