Re: David Rosenberg: Long Treasuries Are Still The Safest Asset Around
How's this for an interesting factoid: the most recent rate for 30 year Treasuries and the current rate for iBonds is exactly the same: 1.68% - except, of course, for the fact that the iBond's rate will be adjusted for inflation for up to 30 years and no income tax is due until redemption.

Re: Message From Our Alt-Right Members to the “Moderates”
...there is NOTHING about politics in it aside from a healthy dose of not trusting governments to do the right thing.... Therefore I'm 100% here with pmward that believing in the Permanent Portfolio and its philosophy and logic for how it works does not then tie you to having to take or subscribe t...

Re: Whoa: Nearly a Third of Democrats Believe the Election Was Stolen From Trump
Wow, what's happened to this forum? It used to be a place filled with intelligent, well thought out discussions on a wide range of topics. Now it's an echo chamber where the crazies reign supreme. I've gotten the same impression, and honestly stopped reading here for the past few weeks. The folks e...

In your example, 12.5%.And even if the Treasury Bond portion of the PP lost 50% of its value, it would only be a 12.5% loss for the portfolio.
What am I missing?

Re: Is the Permanent Portfolio Broken?
Unfortunately, as time goes on, the back-tested data we used to form our conclusions start belonging to an outdated world that could have had very different economic forces at play. What are the different forces at play? I don't really see what has changed for the world economic system since the in...
