Re: Tactical Asset Allocation + HBPP an intriguing combo

I guess I will just wait to the end of the month and switch to bonds...I probably will be switching at the exact time bonds crater and stocks take off. Sometimes mechanical investing sucks!

Re: Golden Butterfly Portfolio

I just noticed that my VBR is down about 14% for the year, about twice as bad as my large cap VTI. This type of market seems like a good test for the "Golden Butterfly". Still marginally up for the year...Yea.

Re: Dual Momentum GEM + HBPP a great combo, easy to test

I was thinking of keeping 50% of my portfolio in a pure HB PP & 50% in the GEM model. Under "risk of times" you would be 75% in stocks and in bad times only 25% equity. With this setup you always have a little skin in the game.

Looks like I sold low and will be buying back in high. Good recipe to end up in the poor house.

"These are the times that try men's souls." I think Thomas Paine must have been thinking about the gold position of the 3X portfolio.

Damn, did I pick a bad month to start this leveraged portfolio? (66% cash)

Re: 20% annual returns over 40 years...interested?

Hello,
Is there anyway that you could post the results of this leveraged portfolio using 11.111 x 3 and SHY= 66.67?
I can remember in your old posts it was listed "just for the fun of it"
Thanks or any info
