Long time readers might know my fascination with Nassim Taleb's idea about barbelling portfolios to concentrate risk into a small slice while having the vast majority in safe assets. What I am curious to see is if we can combine this barbell idea with the 75/50 portfolio to get a market equaling (or beating) returns over longer periods.

The idea of building an All-Weather portfolio of course has its appeal. The basic idea is to be much less volatile than the broad market or the typical 60/40 portfolio.
