Tyler, awesome charts!...  There isn't a day that goes by where I am not glancing at a printout of one of your funnel charts!...  I find the funnel chart very soothing when the wheels seem to be flying off the wagon... One suggestions: Would it be difficult to post the last year few years of perform...

I looked at PC pretty hard a while back but just couldn't get past giving out my user name and passwords to all my financial accounts...

How did you come to peace with the security exposures?

Tyler, can you add your "Tyler 5x20 PP" to the selections of portfolios in your great website?

Thanks!

PS: Are we supposed to be able to click on Calculator and get anything to happen?  Nothing happens when I do...

Thanks for your great charts and work!

dual, I couldn't get you link to work but if you google "Fidelity virtual safe deposit box", the Barron's link shows up and you can read the article...  At least I did a minute ago...

Just wish Fidelity would start handling physical safe deposit boxes as well as virtual ones! It would be great to have a "private" safe deposit box service that is not controlled by the banking sector but that is also insured and reputable... http://www.barrons.com/articles/fidelity-tests-...

I may be a little too simple-minded on this but if I post the Peak-to-Trough results of a HBPP allocation for the time I've been using it and post the resulting CAGR on Tyler's terrific PP real returns over time plot and it is within the bands shown for that time period, I conclude that there is not...

I saw this this morning and couldn't stop laughing...

Hope you get a chuckle out of an otherwise dismal morning...

Tyler, I enjoyed your "Risk in the Real World" article but had a question....  It looks like you were comparing the risk of outcomes by either investing $2,000/mo in stocks and hoping you still had the average return in 20 yrs when you wanted it for college costs (but might have quite a bi...

The suburbs in Far North Dallas (Richardson, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen) are truly insane!...  My son and his bride put in 3 different bids (all over asking price) in just this past week and lost all three!... There is a large influx of major corporation relocations primarily from Calif (State F...

I added Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, None of The Above and It doesn't matter to the poll so people could vote for who they would like to see as president, if any... (not who they think will win)...  There are no doubt other Republicans, Democrats and Independents that could also be considered...

For those new to the forum and before dental horror stories proliferate, note that MangoMan and his daughter-in-law I believe are dentists and would probably appreciate focusing on the topic at hand (animal hunting for pleasure in general , potential poaching and the newsworthiness of this story vs ...

Sounds like a good day for a poem:                 If If you can keep your head when all about you   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,   But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,   Or being lied ab...

This was the first post after I started my PP portfolio... 919 days ago...  According to PeaktoTrough, Ideally it has generated a 3% nominal return... which maybe on the low side of Taylor's incredible real return vs time plot...  However, the 3% is what my stable value fund was giving me so I am OK...

Kudos and many thanks for the terrific charts!...  They really give a uniquely different (and comforting) perspective!

In 1979 I worked at The Byte Shop in Denver selling microcomputers... We sold Apple computers that you had to load the operating system and programs with cassette tapes... Before floppys...  When I would demo VisiCalc on the machines, everybody was blown away!  I bet I sold more computers based on t...

As I have mentioned before, if I had the programming prowess of Peak2Trough or many others on this forum, I would develop a program (like Peak2Trough) that you could put your start date and let it show you how your returns for that time period rank with similar time periods over the last 42 years......

I almost couldn't believe the chart on this link that shows that the top 1% own 35% of the nation's wealth while the bottom 40% hold 0%...  Pitchforks came to mind... http://tablet.washingtonpost.com/rweb/biz/wealth-inequality-even-worse-than-income-inequality/2015/05/21/8db558e59a53d0b4a68a5aa1d10a...
