About this episode

"Diversification is the only free lunch in investing." It's a famous quote attributed to the Nobel economist Harry Markowitz, and re-quoted - with conviction! - by Smead Capital Management's Bill Smead. Bill discusses his approach to portfolio diversification, and his favorite stocks, with Barron's Associate Editor Andrew Bary and Barron's Investor Circle Newsletter Editor Josh Schafer.
