Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Found at my local bullion dealer. Coolest piece of precious metals I’ve ever seen.

I wonder which components of the portfolio are responsible for the decline and in what proportion.

Even All Weather is getting hammered today. Though not as much as the equity markets of course.

Re: Bridgewater All Weather ETF

Equity markets have been declining but All Weather is up. Must be the bonds and gold. TLT is up, but not by a whole lot. Gold seems to be down. How is All Weather up? It might have something to do with the leverage. Not sure. Bridgewater shares how All Weather works in the abstract, but it's still ...

Re: Bridgewater All Weather ETF

Now at over $70 million AUM since launch a couple weeks ago. Definitely a healthy trend. As great as a robust AUM is, there's also a case to be made for funds getting too large. If that happens then they may no longer be able to make their desired trades without moving the market or tipping their ha...

Re: The GOLD scream room

I would love to see a gold ETF blow up. That would be really amusing. I had been thinking this could happen if the gold market were to have either a big correction or big runup (like we're seeing now). Going to check my accounts this weekend and will probably find myself having to rebalance. Most e...

Re: Bridgewater All Weather ETF

Yeah, regarding the long treasury: truly equalizing risk across assets means that at the very least the allocation to bonds would have to vary based on the current interest rate, since bonds are way more volatile at low interest rates than high. Not to mention the expected returns become muted. You ...

Re: Gave up on "pure" Permanent Portfolio in EU

Going to look into this Masterworks thing. I've always been curious about investing in art, but I've also always wondered how much of the spectacular returns you always hear about were just money laundering. How much does that skew the return statistics?
