Are You Taking Enough Aspirational Risk?

Are You Taking Enough Aspirational Risk?

Why we need distinct risk buckets: balancing our natural loss aversion with the allure of opportunities that offer the potential for massive upside.

Topics covered include:

  • What is modern portfolio theory, and what are some of its flaws
  • Why so many people have gotten wealthy by being undiversified
  • How to balance personal risk, market risk, and aspirational risk
  • How prospect theory explains our attraction to positively skewed opportunities
  • Why most people won't get wealthy unless they take some aspirational risk
