Is there any advantage to buying at auction rather than the secondary market?

Vinny, not trying to offend anyone.

Re: WSJ import into Google sheets stopped working
Ayah, I thought it was just my Google sheet that stopped working! It was nice being able to see the entire yield curve at a glance.
Has anyone found a decent workaround yet?

Re: The GOLD scream room
Hi Corto, how did you get peaktotrough.com to give you data for 2018? When I go to the site, it shows the last date for stocks and gold is 10/31/2017 and the last date for bonds is 12/08/2017. The site just hangs indefinitely when I try to use a date after these.

Interesting point! Another advantage is that it reduces rebalancing frequency. I'll consider implementing this on my next rebalance.

Re: 20% annual returns over 40 years...interested?
Do those results include your personal port which includes 5% XIV? Does this not mitigate some of the issues you described such as lowering portfolio level volatility?

Re: 20% annual returns over 40 years...interested?
Please continue Kbg! I actually do follow this thread and am very interested in how your personal portfolio (with XIV) performs vs. the straight 2x leveraged PP.
Thank you again for your posts in this thread and on this forum. I've learned a lot by reading them.

Re: Windfall Advice
Ah thank you, I realized that maturity affects duration but I forgot the yield.
Is it true that we always want the highest duration bond (i.e. lowest yield for the longest maturity)? And is this also true in retirement accounts?

Sophie, can you please explain this statement in a bit more detail? I am not sure I understand why one would rather have a 2.5% bond over 3.25%.sophie wrote:For bonds, buy the lowest interest-rate option you can find, e.g. pick a 2.5% bond over a 3.25%.

Re: Ques about the purchase/sale of Long Term Bonds
Why buy 25yr bonds? Just buy 30. No laddering needed for the Bond portion of the PP.
You can consider laddering your Cash portion.
