Happy to hear you're still working on the new company, Craig! The book was pivotal to me, it offered a recent picture of the PP and allowed me to start investing.

That's a real nice ticker they got there.

Noob here. Isn't the risk/return hard to evaluate if you don't know the chance of counterparty risk?

This forum is extremely revealing in the financial sense. I can tell you from experience that it can rub people the wrong way when they know you're well off. I have a colleague who asked what I earned, and I told him. Even though it was less than him , he was jealous for weeks. Because, so he reason...

I've got a EU PP, and my cash is NOT in a money market fund. As long as my portfolio is small enough to keep it cash in regular savings accounts, I'll do so.

Good one, especially how it points to counterparty risk.

No comments because this is above my paygrade, but congratulations man.

Very pretty!

If you believe in AI, then what about Tesla?

I, for one, welcome our new self-driving overlords.

Do whatever makes you sleep better at night.

You have ten years on me. But I, for one, didn't want to be one of those people who develop ulcers during the next bear market.

Since Tyler is such a modest person and doesn't plaster his site with ads, I'll be the one to mention you can buy him a cup of coffee here:

My PP is the normal stuff except it's divided between gold, 7-10 yr. European bonds, world stocks, and the cash is on a 0.5% interest savings account (because we've got a negative rate money market here in Europe, Mario Draghi be damned). I'm still overweight on cash, which will be remedied in the n...

sorry i did this to you all lol So Don gives us a holiday present and you decided with one fool action to take it all away, huh? :D As for gold's time to shine, I've understood that gold right now is historically already above average, due to several central banks slowly building up their gold rese...

I wonder how they justify that expense ratio. Or is it just milking their remaining client base for all they're worth?

I'd expect it to be pretty explosive. Just the title suggests that he perhaps didn't change much in his views on this topic, since "Freedom in an unfree world".

"He was writing a book called The War Racket at the time of his death". Interesting.

Not strictly PP, I've got 25% global stocks instead of the recommended 25% national stocks. Also, I've got a small VP with crypto and P2P lending, sized to about 4% of my PP.

Wow, that's pretty good news! Were the people in your organization happy? I mean, I bet you are going to save them a lot of money.

I checked what Harry Browne had to say on the subject: Governments invariably call upon their citizens to cooperate in efforts for the "public good." They want you to sacrifice to help solve economic crises, foreign-trade problems, and military conflicts; but these things were caused origi...

Thanks for answering, Tyler. Your website has brought me so much insight.

Is it just a misconception on my part....or, is the European way sometimes more enlightened than the American way? Well.... it's great that it's sold here, of course. But it doesn't really taste like meat. It's really a patty that's made from some form of mushroom or something. It tastes very neutr...

Salads and Egg McMuffin were mentioned but here in Europe, we have some options:

I'm don't think that's widely available, though.

I frequently stopped in McDonald's to buy certain non-meat products What I find super-duper great while traveling, is that I can depend on McDonald's for three things: there is a vegetarian option, decent coffee, as well as a playground for my kid. As for the stock, I think it's better to have the ...

Could you reveal how you invested each of the four segments (i.e., bought long term bonds or bought long-term bond fund, gold fund versus buying actual gold, and so on)? I'm in Europe, where we have to deal with negative interest rates and a rather lackluster economy. So I've got 25% gold ETF, 25% ...
