If you scale them proportionally with the PP you get a 14-26% band like:

I guess if you want to prevent that you better get gold bullion (which I also do).

I live in the EU and my gold fund is 4GLD. Real gold backed, you can actually request conversion to actual physical gold. Are you really sure about that? I know nada about 4GLD however many that claim to be backed by physical and that permit conversion often have criteria/conditions, such as certai...

Three years later: So, I did build something myself, but it got a bit out of control (it supports any portfolio, not just PP or GB): asset.garden.

Anyone who would like to try it out, please go ahead, it's free.

When it can do something interesting other than be sold to the next greater fool maybe I'll start caring. I think it can do very interesting things that cannot be done with fiat money. E.g., the fact that no one controls it gives people in countries with an oppressive government the possibility to ...

You never know which way the pyramid will go.

Hmm, almost like any other asset

Yeah 50/50

Looking for suggestions please. I have a Euro PP which contains Euro Large Cap shares (Sanofi, Renault, VInci, Luis Vuitton etc). At the moment the PP is not far off 4x25%, being 29/20/25/26% stocks bonds gold cash. For simplification, I am closing a small account elsewhere, and would like to use t...

Funny that some of you here are proud you never bought bitcoin. Isn't the idea of investing to grow your capital? I bought most of my bitcoin in 2014 and never sold. Happy to be not in the $0 club.

I think bitcoin is pretty binary: or you lose it all or you'll make a huge profit. So my advice is: only use money you are prepared to lose and buy&hold, no cash rebalancing.

You have no idea how sad all this looks from across the pond...

BlackRock CIO of Fixed Income Rick Rieder talking about Bitcoin replacing gold on CNBC this morning.

Ignore at your own peril...

How does one turn BTC into dollars without cashing them into some form of currency first and going into an account of some kind? With Gold that you hold physically, as long as cash is still legal...

I have implemented a German bond ladder, e.g. this bond is part of it: https://www.deutsche-finanzagentur.de/e ... 001104743/

Yes, I lose money there, as the price moves toward the par value, but as Hal said it is way safer than cash.

Whats your theory on why REITs perform so well?

I was inspired by this tweet: https://twitter.com/alexisohanian/statu ... 7427155970. I interpreted "alternative" as "real estate" . No theory behind it.

Replacing LTT with REIT in portfoliocharts, seems like an interesting move: ZUSAXAA20AI20AN20AO20GB20Z (shortcode).

Wait- how is digital better than paper again? There is a huge list of things how bitcoin is better than paper (let me know if you are curious how), but it is still very new of course. That's why the UX is still very clumsy. BTW Bitcoin is deflationary by definition, which is a property that can com...

Well, people change their minds. PTJ also hated bitcoin, but not anymore. And this is not some average investor.

Yeah, awesome article! It answered a couple of questions I had about gold.

In other, but related, news: Paul Tudor Jones Buys Bitcoin as a Hedge Against Inflation, more detail here. Bitcoin was not around when Harry Browne created the PP, but I start to wonder now if adding it is a good idea?

Thanks Tyler! I discovered your site about a year ago and learned a ton. Fully invested in an EU/US GB portfolio. Sailed smooth through the corona dip!
