Re: Bridgewater All Weather ETF

I'm really excited to see how this thing performs. Bridgewater and All Weather for the everyman. Love it.

After accounting for the leverage, it looks like the total portfolio exposure is 183.97%.

Re: Bridgewater All Weather ETF

The relatively high ER irked me at first, but then I realized that the dynamic asset allocation and leverage of this fund was something I couldn't realistically implement on my own. So I'm okay with paying the 85 bps.

It's also nice to just have 1 fund that doesn't need any futzing!

Bridgewater All Weather ETF

There is officially an All Weather/Risk Parity ETF made available by the Bridgewater themselves. https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/spdr-bridgewater-all-weather-etf-allw https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/capabilities/alternatives/all-weather-etf Looks pretty darn good.

Re: BTC in the PP

They are keeping bitcoin that was captured via law enforcement activities but they are also intending to acquire more. It just has to be in a budget neutral way in order to sidestep congressional approval.

Re: BTC in the PP

Hopefully! At this point I'm not surprised about anything... bitcoin spikes on no news, and then tanks on what is ostensibly good news on a regular basis. Just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride. O0

Re: ‘Truly Staggering’ Weather Disaster Will Occur ‘Someday, Any Day,’ Buffett Says

I think it's a 10% chance over the next 50 years for the Cascadia quake. Which, if you consider a revolver with ten chambers, and a game of Russian Roulette, isn't good at all. It will be like having your entire house shaken and busted apart by a giant for several minutes... and imagine a wet and c...

Re: ‘Truly Staggering’ Weather Disaster Will Occur ‘Someday, Any Day,’ Buffett Says

We just had a small quake in my hometown of Vancouver. Scary.

There's always a fear that it's a sign of the impending "big one" that we've been expecting on the west coast for many years.
