Re: Portfolio for European investor

Looks good to me. Do you have a particular reason to go for 30/30/30/10 instead of 25% each? Personally, I don't stick to 25% each either, I've got a lot more cash but I'm accumulating and am aiming for those percentages. There are two reasons: - A lot of people express that gold is less useful for...

Re: What's going on with silver?

What do you think about this "silver" PP in transition to a standard PP: - 25% Stocks - 25% Bonds - 25% Cash - 25% Silver (because of the ratio) When I need to rebalance, I sell silver (if more than 25% in that moment) or I buy gold (if silver less than 25%). When I need to rebalance again, I sell s...

Is the Permanent Portfolio useful for itinerant people?

There are several Permanent Portfolios for people living in different countries. But what if someone wants to leave his country, or he doesn't know where he will live, or for how much time? I guess there is problem here, specially if you don't let the PP to complete its cycle. What do you think abou...

Re: Just stocks and gold. What allocation for European?

Just stocks and gold. What allocation for European?

Hi all. I'm very interested in the Permanent Portfolio. After reading the 2012 book and a lot of messages of this forum, I think I will go for stocks and gold. I don't trust bonds. Specially European bonds (I live in Spain), but I don't trust US bonds either. I think Browne had good points about bon...
