Does anyone here use a financial adviser?

A women I work with told me she was meeting with her "financial adviser" today.  That got me thinking.  Another reason why I love the PP is I don't need one.

Question - do any of you use the services of a financial adviser? And if so, what for?

Thanks.

Re: Gold Eagles/Buffalos safest coins to buy?

I only own Buffalos.  I prefer 24K pure gold.  I keep each in a plastic case so they stay scratch-free.

Re: Educating our Financial Planners

Thanks for sharing.  I have also noticed that many experienced folks in the investment world have never heard of the PP. I always inform people when the opportunity presents its self. My neighbor recently told me he’s starting to get into trading stocks. He said he hasn’t been doing very well.  So I...

Adding new money to PP versus rebalancing?

Instead of rebalancing, what if I just contribute new money to the underperforming assets to maintain balance?  Thus I would never sell an asset (until retirement), just accumulate more.

Is there any drawback to never selling an asset?

Thanks.

Re: Important News: A New Permanent Portfolio Book Is On The Way!

That’s fantastic news!  ;D  I can’t wait to buy the book.  I believe the Permanent Portfolio deservers more much publicity.  I remember when I first stumbled upon the PP while studying the teachings of Harry.  I thought "How could something that so reliably produces 9% annually never be mentioned by...

Re: Physical gold or ETF for my IRA?

One way to view physical gold as future tax-free income would be the fact that its unlikely any government would be aware of profits on it.  For example, one could slowly accumulate gold bullion over many years, then years later in retirement, one could sell some of the gold in small increments and ...

Physical gold or ETF for my IRA?

Hi all, I really enjoy this forum. I’m in the process of adopting the PP for my Roth IRA.  I could do the standard PP allocation VTI/TLT/SHY/GLD.  However I’d rather follow Harry Browne’s recommendation and hold physical gold. Therefore my IRA will ONLY contain VTI/TLT/SHY, and I’ll hold gold bullio...
