Was searching for something and landed in the Coronavirus General Discussion thread.
What a trip.

Well done! I am down a lot from the peak.

A good Good Friday to you, M

What about T.P.?

You mean, you guys don’t?

Tsk tsk, sounds like whataboutism.

Then again, if erosion of civil liberties is of interest, you can find plenty of it right here at home (U.S. that is). Erosion of rule of law is hot this season too.

Hence memes like this. And I’m not a big fan of memes, but this one gets right to the point.

It doesn’t get any shorter than cash. Short-term bonds can be 3 months, for example. They can go down in value. A money market fund tries to keep Net Asset Value (NAV) at $1. And, except in extreme cases (google “breaking the buck”), that’s where it stays. I think. If I got that wrong, please chime ...

I don’t understand your question, Vin.

Every day I see news about people getting arrested for social media posts, but Muslim immigrants given a pass for assembling and shouting about how they want Sharia law in their new home country. Is this right wing propaganda or is it real? I can’t tell, because I don’t know what news sources are re...

One thing that I think would really help is to revamp the sticky threads under each asset. I mean the links don't go anywhere, right? If someone finds their way here, shouldn't they be able to read about some of the basic PP philosophy. For example, what if the Permanent Portfolio Discussion sectio...

Love it

very pretty scenery

Honestly, you can only tell in the rear-view mirror. Take my vp: it’s full of 10-year treasuries and some shorter term US treasury notes. Now, of course, I like looking at it ( at that part of it) this week as stocks get hammered. However, most of the time, I think about how my dad just kept everyth...

My wife always complains about one holding I bought for her: BIV (Vanguard intermediate bonds).
It’s up! And almost all our other holdings are down.

“The appealing Stephen Miller”
You said you have no sarcasm detector but at least you can create sarcasm.

Another reason I suppose I knew in the back of my mind, Seajay, that you are not Mohamed El-Erian, is that you have certain idiosyncracies. For example, you rarely, if ever, use the indefinite article ‘an.’ Of course, maybe you’re just being crafty, and only avoid using it when you’re “Seajay.” I’m ...

Well, it’s PRPFX, which is pretty well known on this forum.

Checking to see if anyone’s wigging out on Bogleheads

yep.


I think the worriers are well in the minority but I like to see the political complaints just before those threads get shut down.

It’s the pp

Gold’s price rise recently pushed my % of (pp+vp) to 9+. That is, gold is more than 9% of my total.
Tomorrow morning, it will be well into 10% for the first time, even though gold has come down.
