Re: PP article
Not worth posting, really. It's just that if asked, you give the advice to include a little gold to a beginner's portfolio, you're bound to get down votes on Reddit.

Re: PP article
Yeah with all the volatility in stocks, the PP is definitely getting more attention. I still get downvoted on Reddit though ;-) Thanks for posting.

I clicked lark, but since I live in Central European Time and start quite early (around 7 AM), it's entirely possible that I'm with the owls here

Re: Bitcoin in the PP?
I am honestly curious what the thought process of the risk/reward ratio is of putting 0.5%-1.0% bitcoin in one's portfolio? Well, I for one think it's a very good idea. The PP provides for this, in some sense. Besides the Permanent Portfolio, it's advised to keep a VP = Variable Portfolio, if you w...

My first bear market and I'm sleeping tight
Hi folks, When I started freelancing about five years ago, I knew I had to step up saving and investing. First for the inevitable drought in work, and second because I'd no longer have a employer-provided pension. A lot of blogs were touting Buy & Hold 100% stocks portfolios. But from what I rea...

Re: Getting Into Linux
How many forums users here are regular Linux users? Not on the desktop, but on the server, yes. My biggest gripe so far is the lack of a turnkey backup solution like Time Machine in MacOS. Also, there is no Microsoft Visual Studio Code, so I've elected to use Atom as my IDE. It's not as good, thoug...

Re: Bitcoin loses half of its value in two-day plunge
Fun times
My VP is about 4% of my PP, and 2% is in Bitcoin. I don't worry about it, really. It's just there in case Bitcoin turns out to be a huge winner in the future.

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.

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

Re: Online Security
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.

Re: [EU] Value of short-term bonds as "cash"
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.

Re: I pulled the trigger
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.

Re: 2019 Permanent Portfolio Results
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...

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