Re: Pentagon worried that troops see Capitol and BLM/Antifa riots as equally bad
Ridiculous. One was a peaceful protest, the other was an insurrection. If you can’t tell the difference then you shouldn’t be in public service. As a life long democrat i imagine you see an "all lives matter" sign as a symbol of hate. On the local news the other day on some story about bu...

Re: I need to buy some gold!
Would you consider something like BullionVault, which has storage in Singapore, Switzerland, etc? You can have your holdings in specific reserved bars (by serial#) vs generic allocated storage, if you like. I'm not affiliated, but am a customer. I'm looking at their website now. Storage fee is only...

Re: I need to buy some gold!
I see I would be choosing an alias name which will appear publicly in a daily audit list.
I'm thinking "HunterBiden".

Re: Hit 'em hard, Tedros
When you depend on the beneficence of others, you are owned by them. (Which still applies when "others" is your government.) They can lament about this all they want, but when times are tough for everyone, this is what is going to happen.

Re: I need to buy some gold!
Even stating the foreign location is more risky is an assumption about conditions here on my part. Yes. We Americans are pretty blind about things like this. I would place the USA as probably not even in the top 5 of desirable places to vault one's gold. From my limited reading of course. But off t...

Re: I need to buy some gold!
It was always my intent to visit them before doing this, but Cayman has been closed due to the Wuhan for a year, and I could not wait any longer. I sort of understand why people want offshore storage, but I also see many downsides of any number of reasons (Covid, prime example) of not being able to...

Re: I need to buy some gold!
I don't think I should go into details on that here, but SWP made all the arrangements. The shipment was fully insured. The cost worked out to about 0.5% of the value of the coins. That is about the same as you pay them annually for storage. But this is way cheaper than selling them locally, then h...

I need to buy some gold!
I really want to buy a nice amount of gold overseas and have it stored in a vault in Singapore or Austria. But I have no clue how to proceed. Which makes the whole thing pretty scary. Knowing who to trust, etc. Seems like it would be better done in person. But that's not in the cards. Has anyone her...

Re: Let's Discuss Non-Citizens Voting Rights
What about people to flock to a state other than the one they actually reside in, to cast votes? Are you in favor of that? Let's say 10,000 Alabamans know their state is going to vote for the republican presidential candidate even without them. So they cross the state line and vote for the same guy ...

Re: REAL Inflation Rate is Less than 1%

Re: Buying Union Made Items
I agree. Chicago is now seeing unprecedented inflows of families moving to their school districts. The educational quality is off the charts because of the Chicago teachers union. Chicago already had one of the worst school systems in the country prior to Covid. It's hard to believe the union manag...

Re: Thoughts on my recent rebalancing history
Back when I started out by reading John Bogle, I thought the studies showed that rebalancing actually has very little impact versus just letting things run. Maybe it was some other author who studied this.
