Just got a new 14" MacBook Pro today! M4 Max, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Damn sweet machine. Smithers, I'd appreciate your views on the similarities and differences with older MacBook Pro models. I'm still using a mid-2018 MBP - 2.6GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 with 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 and a 2 TB SSD. Seem...

Just got a new 14" MacBook Pro today! M4 Max, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Damn sweet machine. Did I disclose I bought a refurbished? Under $1,000. M3, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15". The last spec is most important to me since I'm used to many 27" monitors on this desktop. A great machine!

Yeah, and the M4 platform is from 2024, so the M5 is due out later this year!

Damn sweet machine.

Okay, I've determined that we've been under a distributed "Slow Loris" attack. Having deployed specific countermeasures to that, I should no longer need to be playing whack-a-mole with IP addresses. No idea why anybody would want to shut down this forum, though. My money is on a salty bog...

Has this been fact checked?

I'm skeptical that Palpatine would do something like that out of the goodness of his heart. I expect it's quid pro quo behind closed doors.

Black smoke again today. Will Ewan McGregor be the next Pope?

I personally find LTTs perfectly fine to hold when their losses are buried within the NAV of a total bond market fund. What was the phrase someone on this forum used? I think it was "comfortable opaqueness". Either way, I also think long TIPS still have their place as part of a liability m...

I hate looking at TLT in my Roth IRA, but I don’t mind looking at my LTT’s that I hold directly. It’s funny that a thread that’s supposed to be about people not coming to the forum, ostensibly because there aren’t enough conversations about the pp itself, has become a thread about the pp itself. PP...

Holy moly. That's all I have to say.

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.

ALLW fo' life.

How/why are there like 700 guest users suddenly?

Is this the first sign of All Weather proving its mettle?

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 ...

We've crossed the threshold of 1% return since launch last month and over $100 million in AUM!
