Re: Just made a purchase at 5.088 for 30 year LTTs
Purchased some LTTs today at 4.615. Have feeling a missed the peak yield for now which was around 4.81.

Re: New interview with Craig Rowland
VTI with dividends reinvested is an easy one. But it is volatile with big potential drawdowns.

Re: New interview with Craig Rowland
Happy to see Craig pop in. One important point is that both Craig and Harry Browne generated wealth from their businesses and then (IMHO) used the PP to preserve it, grow it at a reasonable amount above inflation, limit drawdowns while keeping things simple. Personally, I do not see the PP generatin...

Re: Fidelity direct indexing and small cap value
Hey I didn't know about AVUV, thanks for mentioning! It looks like FISVX (Fidelity's small cap value mutual fund) is lagging it quite significantly, and it gets worse and worse over time.

Re: Fidelity direct indexing and small cap value
Good point. For some reason I was thinking it was higher. Definitely worth it at .25 percent.

Re: Bought my ibond allocation
Great minds think alike! That was the main reason I went ahead and purchased them (the day before a higher than expected CPI number!). Lets see what happens in May.

Fidelity direct indexing and small cap value
I've been wanting to buy decent chunk of AVUV. But I really dont want to pay the .6 percent expense ration. I may just buy the top ten stocks in AVUV or CALF and put it into a direct index for 60 / year. Any thoughts on this approach?

I was thinking the fixed rate was going to stay at 1.3% but I bought them the day before the hot CPI number came in. Lets see what the fixed rate gets set on May 1.

Apologies if this has been discussed already. I just read a fantastic post by Tyler regarding safe withdrawal rates / ulcer indexes.

Re: This is the best time in 45 years to invest in the Permanent Portfolio
Can you remind me what the cashless PP is? Stocks, Gold, LTTs? Also how are you measuring the value? I am currently seeing an everything bubble inflate (Stocks, Gold). But I guess LTTs are getting cheaper and small cap value is still a bit stagnant. So maybe not an everything bubble.

Re: Just made a purchase at 5.088 for 30 year LTTs
I actually made the purchase because I am in the building a balast phase of investing, for my VP (GOLD, SCV, LTT) AND rebalance my Golden Butterfly Frankenstein. I was thinking if I could live with the yield if if rates went higher and 5.088 percent. And I could. Its good income, regardless of what ...

Remember the breathless reports of Putin battling cancer in 2022? IMHO the “news” is just noise and I also feel that many official statements are possibly slightly truthy propoganda.
