Looking at a 4x25 PP where 10 of the 25 stock allocation were allocated to bitcoin (or a 3x leveraged tech stock), synthetic data from 1932, and the results look impressive. More reward (1.5% annualized more), increased volatility (similar Sharpe Ratio) but where yearly drawdowns were still relative...

Hi we can say that BTC from 0-5% is VARIABLE PORTFOLIO VP ::) But where a VP - with no fiat/stocks/Treasury's could yield similar characteristics to a PP. US assets and Treasury's are losing their luster, many in the EU/UK and elsewhere are starting to realise that Russia/China are potentially bett...

Russia's Satan 2 came into service in 2023, they have 50 and each can carry 16 independent targetable nuclear warheads, so one could hit 16 different UK major cities. They have a 11,000 mile range and travel at 15,888 mph. If say the UK was individually wiped out then other nations likely would not ...

For backtesting purposes you might create your own historic 3x stock yearly returns figures on the basis of borrowing at the start of each year at T-Bills + 2% (or whatever) assumed cost of borrowing. Have $100, borrow another $200 when T-Bill yields are 4%, so assume 6% cost of borrowing, deduct th...

So Iran’s missiles can reach the UK? Uh oh Edit: some say they can only do it without a warhead. Russia is aiding Iran, so could supply the missiles and warheads. If a unintercepted warhead did approach the UK that could initiate its own response launch as the likes of Russian Soviet 2's split on a...

Silver is down something like 20% over the last week, so cash buys 33% more silver than it did a week ago.

The middle east provides around 25% of daily barrels of oil. Many producers suppress production - have capacity to supply more especially if/when the price is high. If the Strait was closed, such as due to Iran mining the narrow (difficult to defend) Strait then both the US and Russia could do very ...

Irony. Russia is supplying intel to Iran to aid targeting US assets. The US has asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones. Trump prefers to lay out a red carpet and a fly-by for Putin but shout at Zelenskyy.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I fear one of the few viable options US & Israel do have is to completely obliterate Iran's infrastructure... Needless to repeat my father's advice to never push a possibly dangerous animal in the corner with no chance to escape. It's all or nothing war, I am reall...

That's a lot of debt (borrowing for leverage). Perhaps consider just scaling/leveraging the stock PP element alone

Reconverion of bitcoin back to regular fiat currency is and will become increasingly difficult. Here’s a post from a few months ago: We keep saying "Bitcoin fixes this" but the fiat off-ramp is still broken - are we just early or is this a fundamental problem? https://www.reddit.com/r/Bit...

Reconversion of bitcoin back to regular fiat currency is and will become increasingly difficult, wallets even with a small amount of tainted bitcoin may be locked.

Yes he does indeed O0 At least he hasn’t started any new forever wars. Let’s revisit that in a couple of weeks.

What Russia mines of gold and silver is enough to cover the Russian cost of fighting the Ukraine war. The Swiss don't prohibit Russian gold/silver - just 'advise' investors not to buy it, that once refined into good delivery bars can be sold in London. Putin hasn't had to impose conscription, much o...
