Episode Details

We begin this episode with two emails from Maggie and Dominic and then move on to the second half of an analysis of the ETF IVOL, the Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF, as suggested by listener Boone B.  For the analysis, we use David Stein's Ten Questions to Master Investing:

1.  What is it?
2.  Is it an investment, a speculation, or a gamble?
3.  What is the upside?
4.  What is the downside?
5.  Who is on the other side of the trade?
6.  What is the investment vehicle?
7.  What does it take to be successful?
8.  Who is getting a cut?
9.  How does it impact your portfolio?
10.  Should you invest?
