Re: This is the best time in 45 years to invest in the Permanent Portfolio
Since this thread first started, my GB has surged higher. "Surged" needs more specifics in terms of percentage. The Golden Butterfly is the Permanent Portfolio plus a value index fund. I made my only investments now 21 years ago in January 2003. All investments since have gone into cash. When I mad...

Re: What’s The Best Metals To Buy Into ATM?
... Does anyone have any advice? ... Yes. ~~~ Your question requires a lot more information to answer properly. What is the state of your current portfolio (do you already own any metals?) What are your investing goals (short term profit/turnaround, long term or pass metals to my kids when I die)? ...

Re: Should ESG Investing Be Criminalized?
I'm not sure criminalized is the right word. It's fine to advertise your fund as ESG and then invest accordingly, since investors know what they are signing up for. OTOH, any fund that is not specifically listed as using ESG as a criteria should have no other purpose than to maximize profits for in...

Yeah, hoping this isn't a bot, because it's always nice when more (actual) members join in. Having said that, I personally take the stance that gold is the only precious metal actually worth buying. The real alternative for more diversification in the self-custody space isn't really silver or plati...

I found my mistake. I erroneously counted the money added to my PP in 2023 towards the year profits. Oppps!

Is there a reason to take this guy seriously?
