top limit for your INVESTMENTS
Hello I now understand more about PP and your minds, which i agree. What is for you, the limit of money that you want to reach in a PP or overall in savings. This means, when will you start to put money in other stuff a part from investments. Saving for investment has no limit? Let me know your aims...

Re: Buying real GOLD
Hi, I think you are right. Just puting all the saving is a PP, that has fluctuation, is VERY difficult. Going all CD's to PP+VP+CD it is hard for my mind, but I think I will do like that. Even in the broker applied in Assets, the money is not safe? Thank you!!! Hello, After so many years saving only...

Any comments to inspire me?

Re: Real ASSETS
k9, fantastic explanations! a) Well, Portugal ever had higher yields than richer countries, we are used to it. Now we are being helped by IMF and BCE. In this case the cash should be where? ALL in a foreign country, is it safe? b) You all PP lovers, make 80-90% allocation in US-PP of your total ...

Re: ALL my savings in ETF's is dangerous
Here's what I meant. ETF - Fund Provider VTI - Vanguard TLT - iShares SGOL - ETFS SCHO - Schwab That's 4 asset classes managed by 4 separate companies. Yes, an ETF has more risk than directly holding the assets but by dividing your money across multiple ETF providers you help minimize your exposur...

Re: Real ASSETS
The problem in the text you quoted is that you now converted it back to a purely financial portfolio (stocks + REITs + bonds) :) As for 4% CDs : the problem is that CDs are not the safest asset ; they are a (relatively low) risk bond between you and the bank. In a tight-money recession, if the bank...

Why do you say you can't own gold directly ? I guess in Portugal 20 Francs coins or British Sovereigns are easy to buy / sell, right ?

Hi,clacy wrote: frugal,
If I'm not mistaken you are European. I believe that many ETF's in Europe are synthetically constructed, which is important to consider as these would be much more dangerous, IMO.
Why? And what is the solution for a european citizen.

Re: Don't Overpay Your Broker
Good stuff. I like TDAmeritrade because of their wide assortment of PP-friendly commission-free ETFs (VTI, IVV, TLT, EDV, SHY). They charge $10 for other trades, though. eTrade is nice too because through then you can trade PERM commission-free. Hi, when you trade PP funds instead of each asset ind...
