Re: Historic Bullish Sentiment Along With Historic Resistance In Bonds Isn't Good

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.

Re: PP Facebook Request!!

PP Facebook Request!!

i think it would also be good idea in general?

thoughts?

Re: Effect of Ray Dalio portfolio's popularity on PP?

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...

Re: VP trading diary

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.

Re: reallocation of bonds

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.

reallocation of bonds

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
