Re: VP trading diary

Before anyone embarks on speculative trading they should read Harry Browne’s book "Why the Best-laid Investment Plans Usually Go Wrong".  It will sober you up. Browne said on one of his radio shows that it was his worst selling book, yet the one he enjoyed writing the most.  I love the book.  Browne...

Re: 2 months old PP, down -3%.

Well said JMoyle. I too am buying physical gold as my gold portion is getting close to 15%. I just ordered a couple 1oz buffalo coin today. I have no fear at all.  I've done extensive research and I believe the PP is the safest, simplest, neutral, non-speculative portfolio available.  I’m down about...

Re: Seeking Book Recommendations for Young People

Book title: "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" by Richard Maybury.

Richard Maybury was a guest on Harry Browne's radio show, which is how I first heard of him. He wrote a series of "Uncle Eric" books designed for children/young adults.

Re: "...for the money you cannot afford to lose."

I second Dozha's comment.  I don't want to lose sleep worrying about a Variable Portfolio so I don’t have one.

I have two Permanent Portfolios: a RothIRA and Brokerage account.  My 401k is a 50/50 stock/bond.  It works for me.

Re: Implementing Bitcoin into the Permanent Portfolio

Bro, your [edited out inappropriate comment. CraigR] are part of a Variable portfolio, not a Permanent portfolio.  They are a pure speculation, and that’s what the Variable portfolio is for.

Re: Should you vote?

I will not be voting because I view Obama and Romney to be practically identical.  I love Gary Johnson but he’ll only get about 1% of the vote so what's the point? I was recently watching watching this CSPAN discussion from Nov 1, 1996, and Harry Browne states he has not voted in 30 years.  http://w...
