Mike must have been over to Perth as well

I'm befuddled. What could be the virus-related rationale to shutting people out of their safe deposit boxes?? To intentionally create panic? Not that I believe in conspiracy theories, but there is no other logic available to some of these edicts. If nothing else, it proves HB's advice to have your ...

Hal, What is a non-bank vaulting service? Are you saying that people's safe deposit boxes are unavailable? Does this affect eg the Perth Mint? Hi Xan, A non-bank vaulting service is a private vault full of safety deposit boxes, and you are correct. No access for the next six weeks! This law affects...

Excellent series. I wonder if the PP could be viewed as in episode 6, with a (different allocation?) cash component being equivalent to his "cash reserve"? We would have LT treasuries in addition to his gold/share mix. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwP4qoJsShA 2. https://www.youtube.c...

Just discovered there are Corporate Inflation Linked Bonds, perhaps that's what is being referred to? Yeah, good find. That must be what he's referring to. As for TIPS, we don't have those in the EU, as far as I know. Good graph. They're interesting. Chapter 5 may be helpful In this chapter we exam...

In Australia you can purchase the bonds from the Government via the stock exchange - no ETF needed. Perhaps you can do that with European countries? https://www.asx.com.au/products/bonds/exchange-traded-treasury-index-bonds.htm Note they are linked to the CPI which is a farcical number down here ;) ...

Agree, however if you had to pick just one asset class for all your funds, what would it be?

For me it would be Gold first and Bonds last. Which means I have just given Gold the "Kiss of Death"
