Re: New interview with Craig Rowland
Yet another example of how the Value Stock Geek consistently sends an email with an email date about 2 weeks prior to it actually being sent. I was in the email box yesterday and it had nothing left in it about 24 hours ago. The email was not there. Today it is with a 2/21/24 date. My educated gues...

Re: Engineers on the forum: did you like the Lightning connector?
Engineer here who used to design iPod/iPhone accessories. While the lightning connector was always top-notch mechanically (all Apple products are), the primary reason that Apple insisted on using their own connector standards (remember the old 30-pin?) is that they controlled the global supply chain...

Re: Tyler interviewed!
Well, in a lot of ways speaking is easier than writing. I’ll sometimes spend hours thinking about how to reply to a post to communicate the right tone, while when talking it’s easier to just be yourself and clear up any disconnect on the spot. Maybe that just means I should try speaking more. I do e...

Re: Tyler interviewed!
I just finished giving it a listen. Over a decade ago, Tex said he nominated Craig as “the most level-headed person on the Internet”. I think we now need to pass that torch onto Tyler. Ha! That would make for a nice title on a business card. I'm glad it comes across that way, even if I'm occasional...

Early on in Portfolio Charts I spoke with Jake on The Voluntary Life (Ep. 223). I read my own article about bond convexity for the Meb Faber show . And I'...

Re: How much to save for retirement
I took a peek through the report you linked to, and it still cites figures by account balance, not total of all accounts per person. For example see this sentence: "The average account balance of those families owning IA plans increased from $79,262 in 1992 to $258,453 in 2019." I found s...

Re: How much to save for retirement
The bad news is that I think you're overestimating the amount of savings the median person has. I think I found the WSJ article you're referencing, and the $266k figure is the median family net worth for the age range of 65-74. That includes not only all accounts but also home equity. According to t...

Re: in depth review of golden butterfly
Thanks for spreading the word! I'm no Harry Browne, but I imagine he might say that the portfolio is designed to capture the flow of money out of equities rather than capture the flow of equities money out of the country. That said, I don't have a problem with anyone who feels strongly about global ...

Re: 2022 Returns
I measured the PP with a real return (including inflation) that was down a little more than 18%. Yes, that's the worst year I have on record since 1970. That may not sound very good until you realize that it was still in the top third of all portfolio options and still quite tame compared to other a...

Re: Another Gold ETF post
Agree with the general feeling on a Chinese holding company. However, I think the location, local laws in effect and the auditing/auditor is probably more important. If the vault is in the US or UK with a western auditing firm I'm not that concerned. Move the vault to Bejing, use a non-western Euro...

Not that I have anywhere near that level of gold, but whenever a reasonable position by a small-time individual inves...
