Sure feels like we are sliding all the way down! So frustrating. Can’t sell as losses will be locked in. Newly retired and this s*cks!

Will TLT free fall ever end?

“ Adding in a Larry Portfolio twist (shift bond risk over to the stock side i.e. more volatile stock (SCV) and shift LTT into STT) PV” Years ago Clive suggested another Larry twist which I took to heart with one of my PP’s. He suggested using the typical PP as the “bond” portion in the Larry portfol...

Thank you!

In this current environment, What percentage withdrawal do feel is safe to maintain principle going forward in the classic HBPP?

This very helpful. TY!

Pug, that’s what I thought too until we had looting in downtown Naperville!

If security is top priority, I use Keeper password manager. You can upload files encrypted to store. Does a lot more than passwords. I like and trust it. I use it for things I need most secure. Otherwise iCloud or Dropbox.

I think I’m in the f*ck it camp. I too practice in Illinois. If governor extends into June, I’m done.
Insurance is paying less and less while overheads skyrocket. Dentistry is no longer fun nor profitable. Taking my PP and going home!

When my child was age 5 or 6, I set her up Wellesley Fund and 10% gold as Clive and Tex long ago suggested.
I've since switched out the Wellesley for Wellington Fund since she had decades before retirement.

I think we're reaching a point where the strategy of the far left should start to become apparent to all thinking people. It's defame, destroy, and silence anyone who disagrees with them and truth be damned. It's often referred to as "Cancel Culture". The key words are "thinking peop...

Thank you Sir!!

A quick way to do this would be make a Google Finance Page and put a hypothetical $2500 in each of IAU, SHY, TLT, and VTI. And how do I get a chart from this portfolio? I know nothing about spread sheets. Over the years I've enjoyed checking: https://www.google.com/finance/chart?cht=c&q=tlt,vti...

All is well here!
Thanks for all your efforts!

I wonder how many copies of the book sold? Would be some indication of the the interest perhaps?
There may be more of us than you think. Those who invest in the PP but don't post much if at all.

Of Course there are. But good luck with your selection protocols!
bottom line: No Biofilm= No Problems

CloSys is the only oral rinse I recommend. Protective biofilm is a bunch of hooey. Bottom line, mechanically (floss, brushes, inter-dental simulators) get the biofilm off the teeth and you will have no issues with dental caries nor periodontal disease. Dental disease is an infections. Get rid of the...

I was one of the posters who recommended the 2011 Macbook Air. Still fast and going strong! Liked it so much I purchased another 13" Air for my daughter for school just last month. Her's is even faster and the battery lasts literally all day. We put MS Word, Powerpoint, Excel on it and she's al...

Looks similar to Alex Green's Gone Fishin' portfolio

Same horizontal issue with Chrome browser on a Mac.
And the font size is so small it's difficult to read. Too much eye strain.

Agreed about revolver. I'd suggest the .357 and a lever rifle in .357 as well. Only need one kind of ammo. And you can use cheaper .38 Special ammo for all that practice you need to do! Might there not be a benefit to have lots of one type of ammo vs a little bit of several? The lever rifle certainl...

As an aside to current thread, another one of Clive's ideas that resonated with me was his idea of a Timber REIT portfolio. Nov 10 2011 made a small VP investment in his idea of 50% TLT the rest split between PCL, RYN, and WY. Up almost 18%. Way better than when I committed to PP earlier this year w...

maybe "Mint"

But I'm not familiar with the feature list but is often suggested as alternative....
