Invest Like a Legend: Kim Shannon (Globe and Mail)

January 2011

"How I would invest a $100,000 windfall: I love giving 500-year-old investment advice from a German banker called Jacob Fugger the Rich: Keep one-quarter each in stocks, bonds, real estate and gold coins.

All sorts of studies show the more you dynamically rebalance, the better your long-term returns. It sounds easy, but it's incredibly difficult to do."
