Re: Buy bonds now or wait

When I went all in with the PP Gold was at an all-time high. Almost 9 years later my total gold holdings are still slightly in the red I think the all time high was 5 1/2 years ago. http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/22/markets/gold_prices/ Maybe relative to another currency? ??? I originally went in wit...

Re: 900 Lb. Gorilla In The Room

I can't see how the US Dollar can possibly survive with any purchasing power over the long haul. It can't. Which is why we have gold. I never get those commercials on Fox where William Devane shows what the U.S. debt is and says that now is the time to buy gold. Just what is the relationship betwee...

Re: Channeling Maxine Waters (Wikileaks Vault 7)

I'm surprised that anybody is finding any of this stuff about the CIA surprising. You mean to tell me the CIA would actually try to influence the election in France? OMFG! I recommend the book "Killing Hope" which is a well documented account of the CIA's involvement in overthrowing governments and...

Re: How many funds?

I went exclusively with VTI where available when I got into the PP because I think that was the recommendation in the book. If you have to start thinking about small cap/mid-cap,whatever cap and international allocations, etc, it's getting too complicated which goes against the philosophy. When I we...

Re: Figuring Out Religion

I have a different username from what I posted last night because I was basically so drunk I didn't remember any of the details of what I posted except that I do remember that I did post something. 1. a.
