This week on Consuelo Mack WealthTrack, the question is does asset allocation still work? After last year’s devastating market losses investors are justifiably rethinking their investment mix. What’s the best asset allocation model? Consuelo asks Morgan Stanley’s asset allocation master, David Darst, noted institutional risk manager Richard Bookstaber and award-winning financial planner, Mark Cortazzo. This is good viewing material.

Note: The transcript of this interview is not available yet, but will be posted here as soon as it arrives.
