Re: your wife... are professional economists (she's an economist, right?) more risk-averse or simply more risk-aware?
Free investment advice (remember you only get one roll of the die)
1 keep costs LOW (this includes interest on mortgages)
2 diversify a lot
3 keep costs real low
4 invest in your human capital. its the only way to make real money.
My faith in efficient markets makes it hard for me to believe that this "puzzle" will continue; I actually expect long-term bonds to perform nearly as well as stocks in the coming 50 years.
Maybe Nobel-winning economists who invested poorly shared the same delusion that I currently do, and only in retrospect do they admit that their investment decisions were wrong. (Flattering myself is fun!)
