Maybe this has been discussed in the past. In the off chance there is a global thermonuclear war, where is the best place for one's gold to be? I'm guessing my PHYS shares aren't it. But I worry about storing with a little company like GoldMoney, etc. What company, storage method, and storage locati...

I've read in multiple places that the smart money is investing in farmland. It's supposedly fairly recession-proof and inflation-proof. Apparently, Bill Gates is the biggest owner of farmland in the US. I just bought some shares of the REIT Gladstone Land Corporation (ticker LAND) which is apparentl...

Has anyone figured out a way to automatically import Treasury prices into a Google Doc. I still have to manually copy and paste from the WSJ price page every day.

So the establishment has been talking about the need for a Great Reset. And now this appears in the Financial Times. They are talking about canceling all government debt worldwide. That means that treasuries would go to zero, right? Could this really happen? Time for a great reset of the financial s...

So I just got an email from Fidelity encouraging me to sign up for their fully paid lending program, where I can lend out my securities and earn money. Is anyone familiar with this program? It appears programs like this are widely offered by various brokerage firms: https://www.fidelity.com/trading/...

LOL. I guess we can keep the gold and dump cash since they will essentially be the same.

Gold has been created in a lab by scientists, but it's apparently currently extremely expensive to make. Here is an article about it from 2014: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-lead-can-be-turned-into-gold/ Has anyone else wondered what would happen to the PP if someone fig...

The one negative about portfoliovisualizer is that if you back test the PP, it says it only goes back to January, 1978. It says it doesn't have long term treasury data before that. So you can't back test all the way back to August of 1971, when the US went off the gold standard. I really miss peakto...

You're definitely not being foolish. Being thoughtful about taxes is always a good thing. That said, I think it's important to put together a plan for how you eventually will rebalance in the most tax-efficient way possible. Maybe that's to do some tax-loss-harvesting now to offset future gains. Ma...

Hi everyone, I've been doing the HBPP for 7 years and it has been doing great lately, obviously. My cash was at a little over 15%, but with the recent movements, my cash is now around 12.5%. Technically, I am supposed to re-balance now to 25/25/25/25. My PP is in a taxable account, and has a lot of ...

For whatever reason, NYSEARCA:PHYS just stopped working so I changed it back to PHYS and now it's working. So google must have changed it yet again.

I really miss Peaktotrough. Is anyone using a tool for PP backtesting that does the 15/35 re-balancing bands?

Actually, I just figured it out. To get PHYS to work in google sheets you now have to use this symbol: NYSEARCA:PHYS

PHYS stopped working for me in google sheets. I tried both PHYS and PHYS.U and neither are working for me. Are other people seeing the same problem? Any solution?

Hello all, I'm surprised there isn't more discussion in this forum regarding the use of high dose vitamin B3, niacin, for mental health benefits. Dr. Abram Hoffer discovered it in the 1950s after the pellagra (niacin deficiency) epidemic that was caused by the introduction of white/refined flour. Af...

*bump*
Is anyone able to import Treasury prices into Google sheets? Nothing is working for me now.

Hello,
Now the bond prices at treasurydirect.gov are not importing into my google sheet. Is anyone having success with importing Treasury prices into a google sheet? If so, how? Please help!

I've been reading online how you can extract/scrape data from websites using a Google Apps Script, but I can't figure it out. Does anyone know how to write a script and run it in google sheets? There has got to be a way to get the WSJ data imported into a Google spread sheet. Please help!!

Does anyone know if there are other Google sheets functions that can work such as these?
ImportXML
ImportFEED
ImportDATA

The pricing data does load into the source code of the URL, so if there is a possibility of somehow parsing the source code and inserting the data into a Google sheet, that would be great. This is way over my head, technically.

Hello,
I've been importing the US Treasury prices from the Wall Street Journal bond pricing page into my Google sheet for years. It stopped working for me recently. Have other people noticed the same thing? Is there a workaround or alternative source?
Thanks!

Does portfoliocharts do the 15/35 rebalancing bands?

PeaktoTrough.com still works fine for me. But if you're looking for other sources, Portfolio Charts has Permanent Portfolio data going back to 1970. I think the problem with Peaktotrough is that if you try to run it for YTD (Jan 1 2019 through today) no results come up. It does seem to work if I do...

I guess I wasn't being patient enough with the Peaktotrough load time because I do see it is working now. Regarding the Portfolio Chart...

Hello all,
Peaktotrough has been down for a long time now. Is there another resource to do PP backtesting that goes all the way back to 1971?
Thanks!
