Hi friends

So you are convencing me to buy all HB books!

Yes definitely read Best Laid Plans! It is an outstanding and very thorough debunking of just about every strategy ever used to try to beat the market: momentum, moving average signals, guru predictions etc. By the time you get through it, you'll become naturally suspicious every time you hear some...

Hi buddies, I read Craig's book. I listen to MP3 of HB. Why should I read : 1- Fail-safe ... 2- Best Laid... ???? What can we learn more with them? Thank you so much! ^-^ Best Laid should be read to squash all desire to go outside of the PP with the money you cant affordable to lose. It’s insane ho...

Yes Vinny...

The MP3 talk about the same no?

Thank you mate.

Hi buddies, I read Craig's book. I listen to MP3 of HB. Why should I read : 1- Fail-safe ... 2- Best Laid... ???? What can we learn more with them? Thank you so much! ^-^ Because Harry Browne is a great writer! Fail Safe is a relatively quick read (I read it twice). It will show you where Tex and C...

AMUNDI PHYSICAL GOLD ETC (C)

ISIN code FR0013416716

Good!

I like to use several tickers for the same asset.

This is not mentioned by HB but i believe it reduces the risk.

Please comment.

For info again: Amundi started a gold ETC last May. Perhaps of interest to European PP investors as Amundi is owned by Crédit Agricole, which is the biggest bank in France and so relatively secure. Backed by physically allocated gold, held by HSBC. Thank you very much! What is the TICKER symbol? 8)

I see your point. The PP seems overly pessimistic in asking you to keep 25% in cash for a depression scenario. I find it hard as well to stick to it and kept the cash balance at 10-15% knowing that I could free up more cash if really necessary. So in my view you do need to keep a sufficient cash ba...

Hi,

what about doing EUPP only with:

GOLD
STOCKS
LT-BONDS

?

If you have more cash for any required adjust/balancing.

Thanks.

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...
