Re: The GOLD scream room
Yesterday, was contemplating a bit the Yale of Beaufort , from The Queen’s Beasts Collection . However, do not think that my diversification goes that far to get it - in other words, might be slightly hard to sell if I may need to (frankly I do not bet on such unfortunate event). At the end got some...

Indeed, its back and forth here in Europe, too. Its resembling a sine wave, hopefully with lower and lower amplitude...

Re: The GOLD scream room
Here they sell them in transparent hard plastic covers. All the coins I've seen do not look like they were ever taken out from those shells. Personally, I havent touch directly any of my coins. Have heard from my seller that if there are any signs of finger touches, scratches etc. that would immedia...

Re: The GOLD scream room
Does anyone else go with 1 ounce gold maple leafs as their physical bullion of choice? ^-^ gold.jpg Have only 4 of those. Try to keep myself well diversified in the types of coins I buy... might be just one of the many non-sense things I follow, who knows... Oddly enough, I still do not own Krugers...

Re: Help a newbie to trust the PP
Hey there, I live in EU also. What you may consider as part of the diversification game - put some cash into US(D) related stuff. I have US-PP on top of my EU-PP (or other way round), that make me feels better - you know the theory is more leaning to US(D) PP as the one that is supposed to work, not...

Re: Finance Books for Free
It seems that b-ok.org is a pirate site. None of the money you're paying goes to the authors. You might as well just go to a "real" pirate site and get it for free if you're going to use b-ok.org. Nope, I did not say that I am paying to that site (which is indeed pirate site) - see what I...

Guys, do you have an access to b-ok.org ? This is the largest electronic library I have an access to, there are gazillion of books for free (well to be precise - a tad below 11.5 millions) - on financial matters too. To be honest, quite often I download a book and have a glimpse - if I really like w...

Re: Vil's Valley
Yup, that's it. In general, you have 2 types of airguns - 1) when the projectile is being pushed by some kind of spring , and 2) shooting force is generated by compressed air that's being released through a tiny port with (sometimes) enormous pressure. There is really a wide variety of such guns.. A...

Agree? Not? Bought a new bipod for my hunting crossbow and looking for new powerful hunting PCP (note: here firearms are forbidden unfortunately and the one my old man is in posession of, is rather outdated, note2: AGT Vulcan 3 looks as a decent candidate). That's the rebalancing I do at the moment...

Official inflation here is 18%. Guess unofficial is twice than that. Nice, ah?

Re: Covered calls and Cash secured puts in TLT, GLD and SLV
How many folks around here are actually in the PP? I can only think of maybe 3 folks? Do you have statistically significant data-set for your conclusion ? ;D I have US-PP since 2.5 years, only contributing 1/year to keep the percentages. Oddly enough I do not even have a look at it. I guess my VP i...

Re: How much can you not afford to lose?
And yes, while bond prices do decline at times, they're still less risky than stocks, especially if the average duration is not too long. Thanks, that's clear. What seems I cannot really accept and digest is that at the moment who's losing less is actually the winner. Still have the childish belief...

So he suggests a milder glide path for the red zone As pre-retirement I was genuinely interested on this, however if I can recall from this article (which you shared in the past if I am not mistaken) the glide path was in essence - move some of the stock allocation to bonds when you are in the red ...
