Yeah. I'm sorry to hear that. Apparently sometimes faulty wallets get issued (even up to last year on some providers).

What I do have from the printout is a 12-word mnemonic that's supposed to help me recover my password. Only it's three words short. Easy come, easy go.

Re: Slowly bleeding

I have said in other threads that if the U.S. bonds get under 1% I'm selling them due to horrible risk profile. Craig, could you please talk a bit more about the risk profile of long bonds when they go under 1%? Also, it's not entirely clear to me, why the long bonds would provide little insurance ...

Re: Why should PP continue going up?

And agreed that negative rates on long instruments like the 50-year Swiss bond can't be good. I just don't know where the breaking point is, and until we reach that point, bonds seem to still be capable of positive returns. Lang posted in the one-day Swiss currency crisis thread that his bonds are ...

Thanks indeed for the update, always interesting to see how the PP is doing in other parts of the world.

Could you tell me what the coupon rate is on the Swiss LTT? (I'm guessing its a bond from 2014?)

Re: Golden Butterfly Portfolio

I don't think equalizing your size, value and growth exposure with the GB concept is an increased bet on Prosperity.  It's just distributing the Prosperity risk less concentrated into Mega Caps.  It's all a matter of degree.  Tyler's version is less precise than mine. Agreed. My view on this also. ...
