The only time Long bonds have problems is during inflation of 70's...  i really don't buy them for yield but for massive price moves when stocks are falling hard.

sorta ironic when we talk permanent portofolio a portfolio to weather all storms.... and the pp forum intermittent fails...

why don't we use

https://www.proboards.com/

for a temp forum...

its free.

I don't know about you. 
TLT hedged my portfolio perfectly last week!

If the rest of the world is doing bad I don't mind
Holding long bonds!!

So i guess in 1995 you guys were like who needs the Internet? I got my CB radio! 2000s.  What's an iPod or iPhone? Apple what? Point is this is too talk about investing.  We could all learn more.  Let's not be soo closed minded.  I can go to boggle heads for that. Maybe I am biased.  Bought FB at 95...

I have a "dumb phone." Never done Twitter.  Do not have a Facebook page. Barrett has my cell number.  Guess I should get my cell number to WiseOne and Goodasgold- and probably Tom. George C Scott as Gen Patton in "Patton" said "God, how I hate the 20th century."  I mis...

arvixe, is horrible ... we switched our website off it a month ago.

hi i think we should have a PP FB group, so we can gather when the forum goes down.

i think it would also be good idea in general?

thoughts?

guys why don't we setup PP Facebook GROUP?

that way if the forum goes down we gave a place to go?

EDV is the one with the bite.

TLT just nibbles.

Many of you may be aware of Ray Dalio's all weather portfolio.  30% Stocks, 15% Int.Bond, 40% LT Bond, 7.5% Gold, 7.5% Commodities. AWP is kinda sorta similar to PP (especially when you consider that PP assets can move away from their initial 25% allocation until next rebalance).  And similar to PP...

i love how apple slowly creeps up with no news.... almost at 114...

apple is my 1 stock VP

frankly, i don't care what chart formation it is...

all i know is i been making money in apple all year...

i dont mind hanging on to apple while the weak hands sell out.

The iPhone 6 is selling fast.  Apple pay is seamless.

Apple got cup handle formation. It's going to 140.

My 2 cents

just as a FYI,  ameritrade has a pretty cool stock simulator in ThinkorSWIM.  the only catch is that you have to have a real money acccount to get real time quotes on paper trading.

i am thinking option 4.  hedge it out with some IEI.

i checked a some historical data Long term bonds, had years when you had 0 to slightly negative returns 4 years in a row.

guys,

i was thinking of instead of holding 25% TLT,  switch to something more like 20%/5% TLT:IEI  or 15%/10%  TLT:IEI?

The rising interest rate fear has me worried.  first i am seeing gold drop... it would be difficult to see the bonds get wacked as well.

any insight will be helpful.

thanks
