Does it make sense to start at 4x25?

I am not sure if this has been discussed on this forum before, probably it has, but a thought occurred to me when I was reading about the theory behind the PP. If the assets have been selected, partially at least, because they are generally uncorrelated with each other, then does it make sense to al...

Re: The Weird Portfolio - latest from Tyler/Portfolio Charts

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...

Re: Golden Butterfly Portfolio

To any holders of the GB, or anyone really, what is your review of its performance in 2022, and how do you see it going forwards? How did it do vs the PP?

Re: Interesting site on the PP/Risk Parity

Ack, I should have shared him earlier on here. It's interesting how he got to his 30 stock / 50 ITT split / 20 gold. Jem is a good dude, on the Rational Reminders forum. There are only two or three of us risk parity folks on that place (they're all about factors, stocks, and leverage), so its nice ...

Re: Synthesis of the PP and GB portfolios

Hi, I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I've found an interesting synthesis of the Permanent Portfolio and the Golden Butterfly. 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...

Re: Synthesis of the PP and GB portfolios

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...

Re: Synthesis of the PP and GB portfolios

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. No cash, high on stocks, low on duration -- I'd keep bonds focused on the bond role in the po...
