Lululemon is back down to around the same price as when I was looking at it a few years ago: two hundred dollars and change.

After touching as high $500 per share one point.

I'm really glad I don't speculate seriously.

Good on ya. I look over the fence and see soo many nice options in the U.S.

Avantis seems to be the bee's knees right now when it comes to US SCV funds. This is not to say that other SCV funds from other firms such as Vanguard or DFA are bad, but they've grown in size so much that their concentration in their target factors has diminished as a result. As a Canadian my choic...

Burley: But you don’t feel that stocks are in a bubble? I’m always seeing bubbles everywhere. :) Smith: I agree. Once a person has some critical mass of gold, just set it aside and run a stocks/bonds/cash investment plan. I Shrugged: I 100% feel like stocks are in a bubble. But if I go too heavy in...

Some excellent discussion here folks. I'll chime in and add another perspective. Since the original HBPP thread on the Knuckleheads forum, people have occasionally brought up the issue of gold being rebalanced into oblivion during a currency crisis or hyperinflation. I've been cognizant of this as w...

I understand that perspective but don't necessarily agree.

The last time the U.S. defaulted on its debt was 1971, and the time previous to that was 1933. We often paint this narrative that these were simply changes or repudiation to the gold standard, but in reality, they were simply defaults.

I saw a letter in the newspaper which compared gold and bitcoin to the tortoise and hare characters in the fable. A guy from Chongqing.

Hehe

I went and did it. One share. Big speculator today.

Hi Everyone, A few job changes over the last couple of years allowed me to roll over some employer-sponsored 401k's into a personal IRA that gives me a whole lot more freedom in terms of what I can invest in. As a result I jumped into the Golden Butterfly portfolio after reading about it here and o...

I agree that investors in general should question the basic assumption that U.S. treasury bonds are free of credit risk. (So hold gold.) On the other hand, I don't see a better alternative when it comes to having an asset that reacts positively to falling rates and deflation. Then again, I actually ...

It would.

I want to buy a share of intel just so i can say that i joined in on the fun.. at least a little bit.

After Biden dropping out of the race it looks like Trump's chances of winning have diminished. It further means that Ulbricht's chances of seeing the light of day outside of incarceration have diminished. Imagine your entire existence hinging on whether one man is going to win the election like tha...

Rough day for the market, eh? Going to have to peek at B’heads today. Intel down over 50% year to date, and looking to halve its workforce. Seems to have been a AI sell off today, most such techs down, excepting Apple. https://i.postimg.cc/5yjFzWyV/INTC.png Start of a AI bubble burst? Isn't it Nove...

My favourite local gold dealer has seen a large influx of people selling because of the high prices.

Still yet to find a Valcambi CombiBar retailing in my neck of the woods though.

It might predate this meme thread. You posed an image from the movie Alien . No one knew what it was. You explained it- it was a still showing the characters *before* the baby Alien came out through a guy’s stomach. EDIT: but regarding your new one, I have stumbled upon it- an Australian olympic br...

Okay, now I'm lost lmao.

I got a good chuckle out of this one.

Hey everyone. It's no secret on this forum that I'm a fan of long/flat commodity funds for the inflation portion of a balanced portfolio. My favourite index is the Auspice Broad Commodity Index. There are funds in both Canada and the U.S. that track this particular index (CCOM and COM respectively)....

I made some paejon the other night. Ever eat those, Smithers? That's one of my favorite dishes! There's a place down the street from our house that specializes in making those things. I find that they pair really well with Lao Gan Ma hot sauce. Mmmmm. I noticed that the selloff in Japanese stocks h...

What the hell is going on in Britain this weekend? :o I just ate delicious French toast and they're mad they didn't get any. Seriously though, I'm reading up on it. The first thing I thought of was Ray Dalio's writings about social unrest and the development of animosity between "them" an...
