Aligning Your Health and Investing Plans
I’m a long-time fan and follower of both Dr. Peter Attia, a Stanford and John Hopkins-trained physician focused on “healthspan,” and the investment philosophy of David Booth, Co-Founder and Chairman of Dimensional, our core investment partner. Both Attia and Booth espouse our “take the long view” philosophy that is at the core of what we, and our clients, believe is the optimal path forward. That’s great news…because the longer you live, the more important it is to have an investment plan and portfolio that outlives you, and hopefully those you love. Enjoy David Booth’s 1-pager on the parallels between these two important plans and how they apply to your own life, including:
- No one-size-fits-all solution,
- No quick fixes, i.e., “take the long view” and
- It is better to prevent problems rather than fix them later.
Swifty vs. Sethy
The charismatic character in the photo above is a marketing genius and a provocative thinker. His name is Seth Godin. Long-time friends know that I’m a Seth Godin Superfan. Call me a “Sethy.” Much of his writing reflects his strong belief in taking the long view.
Seth often says, “People like us do things like this” when fellow tribe members connect their values with how they live their lives. In particular, Seth sounds like us…clients, team members, and other evidence-based investors in this recent post. See if you agree.

Can Artificial Intelligence Help Pick Stocks?
It feels like every conversation lately revolves around the latest discovery in AI and how it’s improving x,y, and z. But how does AI impact our industry as Financial Advisors?
David Booth, Chairperson of Dimensional Funds Advisors, recently wrote an opinion piece on AI and the market for the Financial Times. He states, “Can artificial intelligence help pick stocks? More specifically, can investors use AI to determine the fair price of a stock or a bond? I bet a lot of people right now would say yes, given recent advances that allow for the processing of ever greater amounts of information.
I think my AI is better than all the other ones out there. My AI is the market.”
