This week, we discuss Bank of America\\u2019s declaration of the end of the traditional 60/40 portfolio, the different attitudes to having \\u2018insurance\\u2019 in the markets, the reasons why too many fund managers are aiming for average returns, and the importance of consistently being present to profit from the biggest price moves.  Questions we cover this week include: what can be considered a large enough sample size when performing a backtest? What is the best investing advice you have ever received? Should Trend Following funds screen potential clients? How do you deal with positions that show no price movement for a period of time?
