Important observations:
Higher the percentage of stocks you have in a lazy portfolio, higher is your portfolio’s standard deviation.
All of the lazy portfolios cited above beat S&P 500 index in every timeframe beyond one month.
Not only that, but they also get you there with a lower draw-down i.e. fall off the peak.
