Wasn’t the shooter Luigi? I was thinking more of this Luigi. I spent some years in Providence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Manocchio This is all news to me. I grew up in Rhode Island and lived there from 1951 to 1973. Never heard of him until now. It says: "He was the boss of the New E...

I highly recommend subscribing to Cullen's newsletter (and reading his book & perusing his website). One of the smartest guys out there for sure, and when it comes to monetary policy there's no one better. I've often said he ought to be running the Fed, but knowing as much as he know he'd proba...

i think after it got hammered with everything else in 2022 many realized there is no free lunch . there are very real risks today at what are still historically low rates for a rise in rates to be kryptonite to the pp . there are so many new funds that can likely outperform the pp with less risk to...

This is a great message from a financial advisor. I think you will enjoy the perspective: “CALMNESS: Much as many companies ascribe to "core values", Stonecrop Wealth Advisors claims five virtues that we try to live by. One of them is "calmness." Over the years, we have heard on...

More of the same.

I'm not a shop every week for what I need each week person. I buy on sale or large quantities. Hopefully, both at the same time.

I may have ordered a large quantity from Amazon during that time which I'm still using.

And here I thought this post was about a literal bunker haha. That's how we keep all of the Boglehead's riff raff off of this board. They think we all live in bunkers stocked with AR-15's, gold bars and MRE's. ;) I have plenty of Larabars on hand! Actually, have plenty of several items on hand. Jus...

Every day I see news about people getting arrested for social media posts, but Muslim immigrants given a pass for assembling and shouting about how they want Sharia law in their new home country.

One thing that I think would really help is to revamp the sticky threads under each asset. I mean the links don't go anywhere, right? If someone finds their way here, shouldn't they be able to read about some of the basic PP philosophy. For example, what if the Permanent Portfolio Discussion sectio...

Historically when we've had similar times as this ... there have been people coming here for an alternative? Is it really that bad (yet)? I mean stocks are down sure, but I think S&P 500 is only down ~13% YTD. Excepting some federal employees (and not to make light of their situation), employme...

No. The actual fund: PRPFX

In comparison how did the Permanent Portfolio fund do?

I wonder how that "taking him seriously, but not literally" thing is working out for everyone who doesn't have TDS. Listening to somewhere today that there is the 32% who will never leave him no matter what. But all the new ones he captured for the 2024 election ... came because they want...
