you invested 2500EUR in each asset?

Huge commissions...

Where in Europe is your broker?

Regards

It is not 2500 of each it is approximately 2500 of each.
Assets have different prices you canot buy exactly 2500 of each.

Update on feb-4-2013 Here is the update the % column is calculated from inital purchase price and current market value of the asset. The initial purchase includes broker fees.

Hi, these: IMEU EXSI CEU VGK ERO IUSQ IQQY DXET EXSA IERA EUEA IEUX Why not? Regards Choose and try. I can't look at all of them. You have to look a each etf and see what it contains and see if it feets with HB recommations. Nothing difficult. In a way i don't understand if you red the book how can...

Hello  :) I would like to use more than ONE ETF Can you give me 2 more choices: EXSI  / SXXEEX / ... ??? The 2 etfs I choosed for stocks and bonds are the only one I found that feet fore eurozone PP.

frugal wrote: Hi,

Can you help me selecting 4 diferent ETFs for European stocks?

Now I have one Amundi Index fund, but ETFs are less expensive.

Thanks.

If you are in eurozone you can use the same as mines.
In europe outside eurozone, you have to have a wilders etfs including uk and other european countries.

Why don't you buy direct german bonds?

Regards

Not really useful with a small portfolio. Look at the paperwork Marc Demessel has done for this.
On top i dont think you must only use german bounds if you are in eurozone.

"2-don't use the same etf provider for all your etfs because your pp will depend only on one firm. "

you wrote this 


Yes and i have 3 providers look at the bloomberg with the codes i gave.

frugal wrote: No,

for example

Gold position = ETF 1 + ETF 2 + ETF 3

You rebalance one ETF each year and try to keep then as near as possible one from the others.

Isn't this diversification of ETF issuers?

try it.
I tried 8 etfs (2 in each catégory) so i could see.

frugal wrote: Spark,

you can rebalance in just one Asset each year.

Each year one.

How will you do in 15 years? Always 4 ETFs?


Regards

You canot do like this, HB says you re-equilibrate all once a year.

SPARK, a) Why don't you use more than one ETF for each asset to diversify? --- If you have more than one etf per asset you will only multiply your fees reequilibrating. b) Germany has higher tax for the dividends, do you know how to make a PP on another country? With ETF's from Ireland for example,...

Hi

No i did choose particularly SXXEEX:GR because it containes only the stocks of the eurozone being listed in the eurostoxx 600.

Yes quite bad start as you see. I will keep the plan for at least one year to evaluate. In a way euro PP is quite complicated because there is 2 europes. One is the europe in the monetary union and a part outside of EMU the other one include the 27 countries. This peculiar situation makes it difficu...

Hi The following euro pp was initiated on 21th nov 2012. Here is the performance Update on feb-4-2013 The % column in the data is calculated from inital purchase price and current market value of the asset. The initial purchase includes broker fees. Very poor performance until now. ------ CHART (Dat...

Hi, I have same doubt, but what about : 65% US HBPP + 35% EU HBPP Regards I was thinking about something little different As an ex : Gold - It  is already global so you can have the ETF in your own currency. Stocks - Its quite easy to get a tracker world (ex MCSI world ) that quote in the currency ...

Hi, I see many topics where people face many difficulties setting up a PP. As we are in an economic melt down Harry Browne had probably not seen during his life time, I would suggess we share some ideas, etf solutions etc about how to implement a global PP. I am in the eurozone, we are facing here a...

Hi arturo,


My broker is not in europe. I pay more fees but i think it is better to have a broker outside europe for the moment.

Arturo,

You mention VYETS where does it quote, what currency, what volume this is all we have to look at for choosing assets.


Sincerely

Hi Arturo, It is true about the bonds like spain or italy but do you really think they would let them default ? Greece can default but it is unlikely the case of spain or italy or france. If one of these default the euro is finished and in this case i still have my german bonds. Anyway what will hap...

@Arturo Hi arturo, I do not use eurostoxx 50. iShares EURO STOXX DE is the eurozone part of the euro stoxx 600. I have 2 long bonds etfs and 2 short bonds etfs because in each case one is german and the other one is eurozone bonds. i have 2 gold etfs to equilibrate with other assets. Each asset is i...

Hi Spark, Have you reviewed my last propositions to Slotine? if you are looking for serious management company (iShares), ETFs, serious Total Net Assets, daily volumen, and 100% german assets, i think the bests right now are the ones i wrote to Slotine. By the way, if you want to get better results...

@Arturo I thought about using these etfs   iShares Barclays Capital Euro Treasury Bond 0-1 (DE) iShares Barclays Germany Treasury Bond (IDEU) Instead of iShares eb.rexx® Government Germany 1.5-2.5 (DE) iShares Barclays Capital Euro Government Bond 1-3 The main problem is that the 2 first ones have n...

Hi, I am french. Building a eurozone PP is really difficult. Trying to evaluate the different possibilities it seems logical to have a eurozone index as the ishares euro stoxx de that covers the eurozone part of the eurostoxx 600, eurozone long bonds 15-30 and eurozone short bonds 1-3 years. Germany...

Hi Tarentola I did read few of your posts and did some research about the Eurozone PP. I am also trying to set up one. I try to concentrate on the same market place (as you stated there are many in the EMU). Having the etfs on the same exchange give all the assets of the PP the same trade fees. Abou...
