Is there an age at which any of you would still hold long bonds (i.e. how many years younger would make a difference)? I realize that’s not the only factor here, just curious.

You shouldn't take Trump literally... except for when you should.

Most of the current discussions on this forum are not really about the Permanent Portfolio, and it's been that way for years.

OK doomer.
