Re: Direct Indexing
Schwab has a version of this. The expense ratio 0.4% is too high for me but it has interesting features. They design portfolios to track four different broad market indexes. They allow you to do tax loss harvesting. I think there would also be problems with income tax reporting, but if you download ...

Re: Jared Dillian on gold
Here’s his chart. He claims that the last two years from 2020 to 2022 are a “consolidation pattern” and there will either be a massive break up or break down from here. Could be but then again the price may just remain in the range it has been for the last 10 to 15 years. https://ggc-mauldin-images....

Re: Value vs growth
I looked up the AQR value growth spread and got the following definition the chart is equivalently the P/B of the expensive stock portfolio divided by the P/B of the cheap, Where I think P/B stands for the company stock value to book value ratio. I guess they are averaged over all the companies in s...

Re: The GOLD scream room
Hard to take it to the bank in 1980 when it hit $850. Nice for a few months but only pain for the next 40 years vs other assets. We have been in a bond bull market over that period as rates dropped from 15% down to essentially zero. https://www.macrotrends.net/2016/10-year-treasury-bond-rate-yield-...

Re: 50 years of dollar as fiat currency
I was 23 in 1974 and had little money. I was totally unaware that there was a stock market crash. Shouldn't things like the 2008 / 2009 financial crisis be an example of something significant wherein almost the entire adult population was aware it was going on unlike 1974? I think public awareness ...

Re: 50 years of dollar as fiat currency
D1984 We experienced few if any significant financial crashes/panics between the 1940s and, say, 1980. There were stock market declines, consumption and production slumps, falloffs in consumer sentiment, garden-variety recessions, etc during this time period to be sure.. Off the top of my head, what...

Re: 50 years of dollar as fiat currency
Interesting article by Steven Hayward about the context of Nixon's decision. I was unaware that it was part of a larger package that included what at the time was huge deficit spending and wage and price controls. These policies lead in no small part to the economic malaise of the 1970s. It is inter...

50 years of dollar as fiat currency
Fifty years ago, on Sunday evening, August 15, 1971, after crisis meetings with close advisers at Camp David, President Richard Nixon announced an historic decision in his “Address to the Nation Outlining a New Economic Policy.” Said Nixon to the nation, “The speculators have been waging an all-out...

Withdrawing coins from a Goldstar Trust account
Is it possible to take delivery of physical coins in the custodian account of a GoldstarTrust or do I have to sell them through dealer and get cash from Goldstar?

'Bond vigilantes' are saddled up and ready to push rates higher
There's reason to be concerned about bond vigilantes, who are no longer under "lock and key" and are free to push yields higher, Wall Street veteran Ed Yardeni told CNBC on Friday. ... "They had been sort of put under lock and key by the central banks. The Fed had lowered interest ra...
