From the February 2000 issue of the Alaska Airlines Magazine.
Worrying about investments is very low on the list of things people want to do when they retire. Ideally, retirees should be able to meet their income needs without eroding their principal, and that principal should have an opportunity to grow, at least in the good years. For some time I have been mildly obsessed with finding the very best combination of assets to achieve those results for retired investors. And I’ve found a combination that’s pretty hard to beat. From 1970 through 1999, it provided a compound return of more than 12 percent, at less than half the risk of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
