Re: Purpose of the PP
I am a recovering Buddaholic. But today I had a good day. I typed up a response (reaction) to Budd's latest. Accurate, filled with facts, witty, with a slight bit of snark...but then I deleted it. Today, was a good day. 8) Good one, Kbg. Your struggle is shared by many. As tiresome as the fallacies...

Re: Cash is King!
Is the green line the dollar index $USD? If so I question its use in this comparison, it being a ratio against other currencies, not a model of a cash instrument. It may reverse course just as quickly at any time, as it did in the six months or so after the 2016 election. Try SHV or SHY. Either is s...

Re: Seven providers have their hooks in me
Fidelity has a refund-all-ATM fees debit card. I haven’t tested it outside the U.S. but it hasn’t let me down inside.

Re: Zeros for cash?
The irony of a clear answer about precise tax treatment of 1 year tbills not yet appearing in this thread amongst analyzers and tweakers is a bit much considering they were Harry Browne’s clear and simple recommendation for one fourth or the portfolio ;) Indeed, I previously switched from funds to ...

Re: Syria
What a nightmare.
Unrelated but this thread reminded me, I’ve been missing TennPaGa’s posts around here.
Continuing the thread drift, I watched 13 Hours and liked it a lot. Hats off to the filmmakers and of course the “practitioners,” to use Kbg’s term.

Re: Gold taxation thoughts
I can confirm that the wash sale rules don't apply. I researched IRS rules, then tax loss harvested gold Eagles through APMEX in 2013. Per the guy I talked to on the phone, they were doing a ton of those transactions at the time. I had to mail them coins and get them mailed right back though. Thank...
