Re: Repos and "Treasury" MM funds - the saga continues
fdlxx uses no repos .
the regular fidelity treasury money market does .
the 7 day yield is 4.15 on fdlxx vs 4.47 .
i prefer no repos and use fdlxx

Re: gold beats bonds for 30 years
i guess in a recession or depression bonds may do better but more typically the last 30 years no reason for the bonds evidently as we have had recession , covid , the dot com bust etc. maybe if we look at individual years we can find some years it wasn’t true that gold won out but by the end of each...

Re: This is the best time in 45 years to invest in the Permanent Portfolio
not really , the point is to stay a head of inflation with perhaps a bit of extra growth .
flat is not good , especially if retired and taking inflation adjusted draws .

gold is a competitor to the dollar so a dollar can wipe away golds moves the same as it can wipe away gains in international stocks .

Re: The Peter Schiff portfolio: an evolutionary offshoot of the PP
Gold got crushed by the dollar .
Looking at gold in India it is up something like 68% since 2020 in their currency.
I strongly recommend watching the kitces video if anyone has an interest in safe withdrawal rates
