Thanks Tyler.
I'm a bit confused though-- is that chart showing returns after the 3.5% inflation adjusted withdraw each year? Or before?

Re: Role of Cash in the PP
Just came across this thread while doing some reasearch. That withdraw rate chart with the sharp dip on the 3.5% wr in Tyler's chart is a bit spooky. Makes me think there's a sequence-of-returns like risk to when you hit the rebalancing bands. Didn't think it would show up so dramatically (figured ...

Do most people tend to accumlate money in their cash portion?
Seems like the "classic" PP way is to accumulate cash from savings or dividends and then wait till you hit a rebalancing band to "redistribute". Does anyone employ "dollar cost averaging" and buy PP buckets on a regular basis. For example, suppose you save $1000 from y...

Re: So how should the PP behave if the U.S....
I thought one of the priinciples with the PP is that you buy the bond/cash portions in your local currency.

Re: PP investors--stay the course
For a significant drawdown to occur with the PP, it almost certainly means that there is more than 1 asset class involved. And that means almost every "conventional" portfolio would be affected even more. This year certainly tests my patience with owning Gold (which is the part I was leas...

Buying some call options instead of rebalancing
At this point Gold (in the form of IAU) is about 18.5% of my portfolio. I like the 15/35 rebalancing bands, but can't help noticing how gold keeps bouncing off a bottom. Instead of going "all in" and truly rebalancing, what about buying next month ATM call options for the amount of shares ...
