Re: Attention: Mathjak! Choose Your Tactical Asset Allocation Strategy Carefully
I don't know what it is, but I monitor this class of ETFs albeit loosely, and I haven't found any one of them that piques my interest as a TAA user. By TAA user I mean almost 100% of my equity slice is tactical. The portfolio I built has a backtest over many time frames that clubs the commercially a...

Re: Stock Picking in the PP
Market Cap Weighted index funds are an implicit growth bet. So while it's not Stock Picking, it's in no way "impartial" or "agnostic". If "number go up" for whatever reason... stock buybacks, buying Bitcoin (MicroStrategy, um er, Strategy), money printer go brrrr, or ju...

Trump says he has directed US Treasury to stop minting new pennies, citing rising cost
We should have ditched pennies long ago. On the other hand, as inflation continues, we should bring back the $500 note... but they won't. They just want to abolish cash, right?

Re: The GOLD scream room
Bills / bonds get repaid whenever the new debt gets issued to pay off the old debt! But I think that's be the least of our worries, because I think EVERYTHING would sell off. The first day of the 1929 Crash was -9% in one day. The 1987 crash was -25% in one day. Think in those terms, now think of ma...

Re: The GOLD scream room
I am reading that there is a lot of Congressional dysfunction regarding the swiftly coming March 14 government shutdown date. GOP controls the government, but is continuing the customary ideological purity circular firing squad, which would require that Democrats given them some votes to pass someth...

Re: The GOLD scream room
Exactly this. It's not proven that BTC is a safe haven. If it shoots itself in the head during a QQQ bear market, what good is it? But gold recently peaked August 2020, then went to sleep for a while. It's poorly correlated to QQQ or SPY. That's what it's useful, the non-correlation, not the CAGR.

On the bright side, President Trump has done nothing yet that personally adversely affects me, my neighborhood, my family or 99.99% of the United States citizens. Lucky you.

Re: Birthright citizenship
US, Canada, and Australia all treated non-Whites very brutally over time. We know how Australian aboriginals were treated - like sub-humans. They were analogs to our people of African ancestry. Non-white immigrants barred entry. I remember my parents told me that wanted to emigrate to US, Canada, or...

It is bizarre though that we would be talking about the birthright citizen status of Native Americans. Talk about paradox. It's not bizarre. It tracks perfectly with history. Ethnically cleanse to Oklahoma via the "Trail of Tears" where it is thought 15,000 died of exposure and starvation...

Re: BOXX
I hold quite a bit of BOXX. There is some chatter on Bogleheads about how it may not be legal, what it is doing. I'm no lawyer, so I don't know.
