Let's play that you do not reveal the LTT acronym to me. How do I find what it means from Google? My searches so far resulted with no luck, including search on this very forum

Many thanks.

Sorry for bump.

Brokerages just say their fees are $5, $10 or just 1$ (for Interactive Brokers). However it is nowhere stated on any brokerage's site if said fee is one way, round trip (or you can never be sure) and when it is applied (buy or sell)? Ir is something I should know without a proper explanation? Strange.

This old classic  book might only give you a starting point. Then you can find with a quick search on Google that many of today's successful traders can trace their methods back to Darvas.

Then your journey really starts.

Great find.

On this other notable forum (FlyerTalk) it is customary to do so called 'Congas' where each newcomer to the party signs up at the referral link of the last person in line.

I did not find such a discussion with the search.

I just reread parts of HB's Failsafe Investing, aka the bible http://www.harrybrowne.org/Archives/Archives.htm How does the Radio Show (dated 2005) compares to the book (dated (2001)?

Interesting. How to do a Monte Carlo on your portfolio from the safety of your home?

Thanks for your insights LazyInvestor! So how does the practical side work? When I want to put my funds on an investment account (preferably all of them on one account) for easy rebalancing and not hit by fees when moving funds between accounts and maybe even countries. You said to buy the equities ...

Someone with more computing power, time or expertise have done the comparison of Boglehead-Lifecycle to Permanent Portfolio? It would be interesting.

No one in my shoes? I thought this question is in the interest for quite a few people. Really.

If I remember correctly Sharpe ratio was featured here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160324133 ... l-returns/
Is it removed with the new design? What's the aggregate Sharpe value?

I have to quote LazyInvestor's post from the thread - http://gyroscopicinvesting.com/forum/variable-portfolio-discussion/best-broker-for-us-and-eu/ - which has been misplaced to the Variable Portfolio branch for better exposure here - and I am looking for the Permanent part.

I might be interested in listening to this. Which one is a good 'overview' episode?
