I would like to say “don’t ever buy whole life insurance” and leave it at that but that just isn't the case. In this episode we revisit whole life insurance and discuss some situations in which you may want to buy or keep the policy you were already sold.

In this episode I interview Paul Merriman. He is best known for his work, a large percentage of which is done on a volunteer basis, educating the individual investor. I told him when we were lining this up that he was a controversial figure in the Bogleheads community, not only for his advocacy of a tilted portfolio, but also the trend following bit, so we focus heavily on that today.

This episode is brought to you by 37th Parallel Properties. As you know, I'm primarily an index mutual fund guy. But there's a strong body of evidence supporting alternative investments - especially commercial multifamily investments. They can provide non-correlated equity growth and tax-advantaged income. Full disclosure, I've just started investing with 37th Parallel. But, several members of White Coat Investor have invested with them and all seem to be happy with their results and reporting. With over $300M in profitable multifamily transactions, they've made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies the past two years and are on pace to do it again this year. One thing I really like is that 37th Parallel educates their investors. You can learn more about them and get a very informative introduction to how commercial multifamily investing works via their special report Evidence Based Investing. Check out 37parallel.com/ebi
