Since no one has chimed in I think I'll make this into a research project for myself.

Well that’s different if they’re living in China, right?

For sure!

Good on you Maddie! Here's a substitute for your English muffin: microwave mug bread. Melt 1 Tbsp butter or bacon fat in a mug. Add 1 Tbsp coconut flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, a pinch of salt, and a dollop of heavy cream (maybe a tablespoon?). Mix together, then crack in an egg and mix well. Optiona...

It’s a limit that’s put on rates.

Just kidding. Certain forum members can only post once every 4 hours.

Some of my xmas money will be going to physical. Thank you, Santa!

He's got a pretty hands-off approach, but I can think of three things off the top of my head: First would be that he protects the subsidiary company's management from Wall Street pressure for quarterly results and short-term expectations. Second, he can take cash from one business and put it into an...

I have an explicit allocation to emerging markets, but this idea hasn't really occurred to me.

I don't hold any special insight here, but I am subbed.

A cool infographic that lays out visually the entire Buffett empire. It's a few years old but perfectly valid. I thought this was sooooo cool. I've attached it here but viewing it locally on your machine may be best so you can zoom and pan. Here's a link to the original. https://www.visualcapitalist...

It's a difficult balance to strike, but the BH forum is a popular place that banned political discussion for a reason. There's an old saying about friends wanting to stay friends not discussing politics or religion. This forum is quite rife with both. I understand the contention. A compromise rule c...

Good on you Xan for taking action!

It has been a long while since I've read a book that espouses a judgmental approach to stock selection. For God knows how long I've fallen into the systematic investment camp. Want the market's return? Buy a total stock market index fund. Want to invest by the principles of Benjamin Graham? The Vang...

Sad to see people leave, but it's also pointless to beg people to stay in a place they don't want to be. What a pity.

For everyone leaving our forum, do take care!

I’m working Boxing Day today...

Praaaaay for meeee!!!

This year was a little different. I used a chunk of my Christmas money and bought some toys for myself that I always wanted as a child but never got!

May your stocks be value-y
Your rebalancing joyful
And you and your gold safe!

HAPPY FESTIVUS.

With Christmas Eve upon us I just wanted to wish everyone here on the forum a merry Christmas and happy holidays. I hope you are all doing well and keeping safe. I propose that all of the political warriors in the politics sub-forum engage in a WW1 Joyeux Noel style truce. Relax, dry off your feet s...

Yep.
But that applies to almost any thread involving people with stage 4 TDS.

Hehe.

Isn't his basic premise is that the dollar will massively appreciate in value through some deflationary spiral? How likely does that sound? This is exactly why I like the PP. Prognosticators like Dent will tell everyone to hold cash and bonds. Buffett says to hold mostly stocks and be confident abo...

My observation is that he has at least been less wrong than Peter Schiff.
