This week on the pod Bob and Nelson reach into the mailbag and answer your questions. We cover such things as whether Telus can maintain that generous dividend, how to invest cash you might need 12 months from now, and we tackle the question that we both get the most, by far.

Leave a comment to ask a question we'll use for our next Ask Us Anything episode.

Both Bob and Nelson are lucky that we've gotten a lot of good financial advice from trusted people right when it was needed most. But we've also gotten a fair bit of advice that's downright terrible.

This week's episode talks about the worst of the worst as we go over some of the most damaging advice we've ever been given.

The most interesting part is that one man's bad financial advice is often helpful for others...

"You can't have the majority of your portfolio in Canadian stocks. Don't you know that Canada is only 3% of the world's market?!?!?"

This week on the pod Bob and Nelson tackle this question from a more contrarian perspective. We argue that the TSX is actually much more diversified than it first appears, and that some of the advantages to concentrating in one country outweigh some of the disadvantages.

Agree with us? Think we're crazy? Let us know on the Twitter. Find Bob here, and Nelson is here.

This week on the pod Bob and Nelson discuss the death of the 60/40 portfolio, and how so many investors just don't hold bonds altogether. Is this a smart strategy, or are investors who move into 100% equity portfolios taking on too much risk?

They say defense wins championships in most sports, and we believe the same is true in investing. Those who worry about the downside ensure they live to see another day, and investing is all about survival.

This week on the pod Bob and Nelson discuss risk management by pointing out the various things that mostly new investors are doing to try and maximize returns, get rich in a hurry, or to maximize their dividends. Playing defense isn't nearly as sexy as going for the gusto, but it's an important tool for any investor.
