Re: OnJuno
For a person living in India and planning to spend his money in India then the conversion from dollars earned in US to rupees is worth it. The rupee loses value to the dollar over time. So, on the other hand, if you later plan to convert the rupees back to dollars then you may easily find that you’v...

Re: The Permanent Tooth and Gum Care Regime
You can do "self-damage" by using a brush with too hard bristles or brushing (or flossing) too aggressively. At one point I was guilty of the latter and was causing self-damage. My dentist noticed this and advised me to back off some, which I did. Not me, no issues. I'm pretty sure I mast...

This is a good place to buy the mints (and all vitamin/supplement oriented products). They regularly have sales at least 10% - they send emails to their mailing list - and free shipping on $50+ orders.

Re: Sales tax expense on gold
The high tax state of NJ charges sales tax on everything. “ The State of New Jersey requires JM Bullion to collect sales taxes on all products sold by JM Bullion and delivered to a New Jersey address.” Sounds like the key is “delivered to a NJ address.” May be good to find a mailing address in anoth...

Sales tax expense on gold
Usually the discussion of physical vs ETF includes the premium of the physical. But there is hardly any discussion about the sales tax paid for physical gold. That expense is on top of the cost of the physical plus the premium. It could raise that entire cost by 5-10%, can’t it? Why is that expense ...

I’ve only bought gold ETFs so it is difficult for me to evaluate this. Maybe it would be interesting to the people buying physical?

Re: Rebalance during these days of high volatility?
Not sure about market timing aspect. That’s why I started the conversation to ask for some help with this.

Re: Rebalance during these days of high volatility?
I may not be explaining it clearly but in my case all positions would have rebalanced evenly by rebalancing stocks and bonds. But the original question arose as to the utility/futility of it in these days of such great volatility - one day rebalancing is necessary, next day it is not, and so on.

Re: Rebalance during these days of high volatility?
In my PP, 4x25, LTT is at least 15% above stocks, as of today’s closing prices. Is there any advice on whether to rebalance between the 2 immediately or wait until the volatility calms down a bit? My reading of The Permanent Portfolio book is that the recommended time to rebalance is when one asset...

Re: Rebalance during these days of high volatility?
Today’s reversal (stocks up/bonds down) was enough to return the positions to normal, i.e., within the bands. So if I would not have checked my portfolio yesterday then I would have avoided any worry about rebalancing at this time. Maybe there’s a lesson in that...

Re: FNBGX vs. individual bonds at Fidelity
Is it correct to think FNBGX and TLT are the same? Today, 11:15 and TLT is up yet FNBGX is down. ??
Also, if you have bonds at Fidelity on auto roll then Fidelity will buy the new bond at the next auction.
