Re: Has This Portfolio Been "Named" Yet?

I was thinking the other day of a Larry Portfolio combined with the Desert Portfolio. Has this allocation been popularized or "named" at any time? - 30% global small cap value stocks - 10% gold (half physical and half ETFs) - 60% intermediate-term treasury bonds Some prima facie performan...

It seriously increases my confidence that this is the portfolio to retire on...as long as you remember to keep it balanced. I am getting to see what a 100% stock portfolio with minimal cash looks like in this situation. The dividends and carryover losses from selling the duds do help a bit, but my ...

Re: Canadian Portfolio

Thanks! I have been looking for this for years. Ended up reverse-engineering it from the equity allocation of asset-allocation ETFs like VGRO/XGRO. And in time, I might switch to KILO.B too. Cool beans. I was so stoked when those asset allocation ETFs came on the scene here in Canada. It felt like ...
