Re: PSA: I now have a 3-year period with no gains

I just wonder why people could be so involved with and dedicated to the PP and then just go away for months at a time. It just seems a little odd.

Re: PRPFX has lost 8 billion in assets

Harry Browne's political show

I have been listening to all of the archived episodes of Harry Browne's investment show. Having enjoyed his wisdom on investing, I am interested in listening to the political show he did. However, I cannot find those episodes archived anywhere. Does anyone know of a place I could find the audio for ...

Correlation between Gold and Inflation

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of data, charts, etc that shows the correlation between inflation and gold prices?
