This is pretty much all there is to valuations 👇🏼 I personally follow this same process.

Asset Allocation doesn't have one clear answer and shouldn't depend on stage of the market.

It depends on your

- Risk Appetite
- Goals
- Psychology
- Age
- Responsibilities

1/n https://t.co/aJjy4N90J9


Someone who is

Young
Right out of College
Doesn't Need Money for Next 10 years
Doesn't Have any Dependents

should be allocated more towards Equities than someone who is

Old
Heading for Retirement
Needs Consistent Income
Has Many Dependents

2/n

Your psychology also has the biggest impact. Are you someone who gets afraid and loses sleep over 5 to 10% drawdowns and wants to book profits as soon as an investment gains in value

or Are you someone who can sit peacefully and do not let the daily movement of market impact you

Also allocate based on Goals.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.

3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
