Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
That's something of an exaggeration. It's better than the traditional methods of stirring up animal spirits.

Re: Transitioning from a Boglehead 60/40 to Permanent Portfolio
There are occasional bright spots, but I have to agree with the assessment about groupthink in the Bogleheads community. It's really not just groupthink either. Everyone there is incredibly rude and bullying, and it's an environment that just isn't "fun." Before Larry Swedroe left he basically said ...

This is the speech. Start at the 17 minute mark and you will hear it.
It's a stale statistic but nonetheless noteworthy.

Re: Are airlines worth having?
Yes, that particular tidbit about the airlines in aggregate not making any profit since the Wright brothers can be attributed to a Warren Buffett speech made a number of years ago. Curiously, he has since bought airline stock since then, as I'm sure you know. I personally think there may indeed be s...

Call me salty, but I have zero sympathy for Bogleheads who have derided the PP only to find themselves in dire straits now.

Today was definitely the "come to Jesus" day in NYC. The virus is hitting hard. The city is practically shut down.

In other words, I think earnings are going to be horrid for a long time after this is over from a health care crisis point of view.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
My admittedly limited understanding of Graham is that you have to do the analysis based on actual known information. Do you know what earnings are going to be? Your guess is as good as mine. My analogy is this. If a man walks into a room and is clearly obese, I don't need to know he weighs precisel...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
Before adopting the PP and passive investing in general, I was the biggest Graham/Buffett advocate. But since I'm relatively young I never really had a market environment when stocks generally had demonstrable bargains. I'll by coveting my copy of Security Analysis tonight and looking at some 10Ks b...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
Holy shit guys. The Dow has dropped 13% today alone.
There are actually some Grahamian bargains that are now popping up with particular hard hit stocks/industries. Cineplex has fallen 80 some odd percent since this all started.
Also, I’ve watched Contagion like 3 times as many weeks at this point.

Haha. What I really find interesting is how much higher one's quality of life is when you don't have your life savings riding in an unbalanced wreck of a portfolio. I'm viewing all of this stuff from a place of detached curiosity. Andrew Yang in his podcast with Joe Rogan remarked that if you give p...

I hope to be a father one day. I want to be married by the time I'm 40 -- currently 31. And I want to have children shortly after. If that's your plan, and if you want your children to share your DNA, then I hope you plan to marry a woman at least several years younger than yourself :) Seriously......

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
The fed just announced they’re cutting their target interest rate to zero.
We may even see negative rates coming soon ala Europe.
I’m very interested in seeing what will happen to the PP tomorrow.

I missed 2008 in an investing sense. And this is starting to “smell” a lot like it.
I agree with dualstow that simply rebalancing and trusting your I̶r̶o̶n̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶ ̶s̶u̶i̶t̶ pp/gb allocation to protect you is the way to go. If you were 60/40 I’d say all bets were off.
