Wouldn't that make it even more like what we think of as "money" nowadays?

LOL. I guess we can keep the gold and dump cash since they will essentially be the same.

Gold has been created in a lab by scientists, but it's apparently currently extremely expensive to make. Here is an article about it from 2014: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-lead-can-be-turned-into-gold/ Has anyone else wondered what would happen to the PP if someone fig...

The one negative about portfoliovisualizer is that if you back test the PP, it says it only goes back to January, 1978. It says it doesn't have long term treasury data before that. So you can't back test all the way back to August of 1971, when the US went off the gold standard. I really miss peakto...

You're definitely not being foolish. Being thoughtful about taxes is always a good thing. That said, I think it's important to put together a plan for how you eventually will rebalance in the most tax-efficient way possible.

Actually, I just figured it out. To get PHYS to work in google sheets you now have to use this symbol: NYSEARCA:PHYS

PHYS stopped working for me in google sheets. I tried both PHYS and PHYS.U and neither are working for me. Are other people seeing the same problem? Any solution?

Hello all, I'm surprised there isn't more discussion in this forum regarding the use of high dose vitamin B3, niacin, for mental health benefits. Dr. Abram Hoffer discovered it in the 1950s after the pellagra (niacin deficiency) epidemic that was caused by the introduction of white/refined flour. Af...

Is anyone able to import Treasury prices into Google sheets? Nothing is working for me now.

Hello,
Now the bond prices at treasurydirect.gov are not importing into my google sheet. Is anyone having success with importing Treasury prices into a google sheet? If so, how? Please help!
