Frameworks for thinking about asset allocation, diversification, rebalancing, and risk — concepts, not stock picks.
Portfolio strategy is about the decisions that matter more than any single stock: how much to keep in equity, debt, gold and cash, how widely to spread it, and when to bring it back into balance.
