In this presentation Paul explores the risk and returns of 8 Sound Investing Portfolios and the S&P 500 for the period 1970 to 2022.   He references 2 sets of tables for portfolios built with all U.S. equity asset classes as well as worldwide portfolios that are 50% each U.S. and international  and 70% U.S. and 30% international. The goal is to help DIY investors understand the likely returns of these portfolios in the good times as well as what to expect when they are out of favor. For those who did not listen to the ⁠Ultimate Buy & Hold 2023 Update podcast ⁠or view the ⁠video ⁠it is suggested they do that before listening to this podcast.   For those who have the ability to watch the ⁠video⁠ it should be easier to follow the numbers.  Plus on the ⁠video Chris Pedersen and Daryl Bahls⁠ join Paul in the discussion.


The tables referenced in the podcast can be found at the following links:
