Re: I'M OUT!
I don’t use the PP any longer but I still listen to podcasts like the ones from Resolve Asset Management who specialize in Risk Parity portfolios. They have convinced me that if you are going to do such a portfolio then you need a lot more diversification than the PP gives you. You definitely need ...

Re: I'M OUT!
I'm really sorry, you guys. I'm just feel incredibly defeated about what's happening, and last night it was really getting to me. It's the long bonds that are the real nut-buster. They're down over 30 percent, and even after reading Tyler's piece, I still don't see a plausible path to recovery. And...

Sorry, Vinny, I may have been unclear. I'm not asking for your opinion of Naomi Wolf. What is your opinion of what she is saying here? He didn't have an opinion on Naomi Wolf. Wikipedia did. It is my perception that Vinny has no opinion on anything and no ability to critically think on his own, onl...

Re: Trying to Understand Wide Divergence in Quotes Between Platforms
I'm hoping that someone can explain to me why, at any given time, the quotes on particular securities vary so dramatically between platforms. I have money at Fidelity and Ameritrade and use both of those platforms to monitor what's going on in the market. This morning, I was (once again) stunned by...

Re: Socialism - Should we be worried
Thank you, I see the distinction now. And I agree, to a point. The 1980s was a grand experiment in trickle down economics, and while the idea hasn't been totally discredited, I think there are differing opinions on whether enough trickled down such that society as a whole was lifted. I'm kind of gl...

What is income inequality? More fake news. Should a McD burger flipper make the same as a doctor, lawyer or engineer? Those professions required years of expensive schooling and lost wages during said schooling, not to mention hard work. You know who is underpaid? People who work dangerous jobs. No...

They have a million and one ways of taking away your wealth. They can crash the stock market on a whim, Speaking of this, I owned ADR shares in Russian oil company Lukoil for several years.

Re: Socialism - Should we be worried
One of the more concerning aspects of central bank digital currencies--which many predict are all but inevitable--is their capacity to be programmed to expire after a certain period of time. That would suck. Use it or lose it perishable money? I have read of implications far worse than that. For ex...

I have read the website and several articles on these single bond ETFs.

Re: The Peter Schiff portfolio: an evolutionary offshoot of the PP
Bottom line is there is no difference when you pull money out either way . Total return always is the guiding force as how much you can take and there is no difference in down markets doing it via dividends or not . You may prefer one way or another but to make a claim dividends are better because ...
