Good to hear from you frugal!!! Have you been lurking all this time? I think there are others who can answer your question far better than I. If your question translates as "can I get better returns by eliminating the cash component" then the answer is "yes, probably but not enough to really make a...

I've been checking monthly only because I got into the habit of tracking expenses and finances on a monthly basis. It's fun for tracking purposes, but checking asset proportions that often is like watching paint dry. Rebalance events happen every 2-3 years, more or less depending on how you're hand...

Hello,

last 5 years EUPP made 18% ?

Please confirm.

Thank you.

Shaymor I have been running a European PP for a while, also in France. I cannot say the results are good this year. For example, year to date: 1. My PP. This contains individual French blue chips and a DAX ETF: -1.3%. A paper four-ETF PP of CEU, MTH, GBS and C13 (similar to yours) which I follow fo...

Hello everyone,

for someone having EU-PP and low risk does it makes sense to buy VIG ETF?

Please share your opinions.


Thank you!


Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG)

Wooow

What a waste!

Try another hobby.

Do you admit to change from EUPP to USPP in function of these true results? Hope I understand you correctly. As a european I would definitely not use a USPP portfolio, I use and will continue to use a strict EUPP. The reason why I am deep diving into US funds now is that in US there are so much mor...

Hi,

Do you admit to change from EUPP to USPP in function of these true results?

Why is it so important to you to know this real cagr?

My best regards.

Hello to you all. I am also an european (dutch) PP user. Many years ago I already wanted to organize myself a simple and failsafe portfolio and Harry Brown's PP was always anywhere back in my head for that. But then again I hate financials and bookkeeping so lost sight of the project. Begin this ye...

Hi Juandelarocha, -0.5% and 1.8% in a year doesn't mean much and sounds to me like you're focussing too much on short-term results. Both the PP and a more conventional stock-heavy porftfolio can go nowhere for 10 years. 1 year results are meaningless. It also seems you were expecting something diff...

In that highly unlikely event, I would lose ~14% of the portfolio (but I'm sure the EU part would grow that much more as a consequence). I don't see any of those two extremes happening. That said, if I would have to bet on likelihood, I'd say it's far higher for the EUR to get devalued against the ...
