Out of curiosity, I compared the Weird Portfolio to one I'd played around with for some time (I call it 25s, or Golden Quarters), a hybrid of the GB and PP, but with more stock allocation, it is 25% TSM, 25% SCV, 25% Gold, 25% ITT. Here it is in PV . It has the same performance as the Weird Portfol...

I love the simplicity of the PP, but I'm not a fan of LTTs even though I know the arguments in their favor (liability matching, especially as TIPS, and bond conv...

For what its worth, my PP/GB inspired portfolio is split 6 ways in order to include international stocks as one of the equal parts to go with the GB I think some home country bias is justified, especially since the US is currently 60% of the equities market, but I'd like some direct exposure to the...

FWIW, my retirement allocation is also about 50% stocks, GB inspired So, I think overall looks fine I'd probably avoid international (Gold kinda provides some of that diversification) And, I'm Meh on TIPS.
