I did not find such a discussion with the search.

I just reread parts of HB's Failsafe Investing, aka the bible http://www.harrybrowne.org/Archives/Archives.htm How does the Radio Show (dated 2005) compares to the book (dated (2001)? I am listening to the shows now, my assumption is Harry's latest knowledge arisen from the time he published the bo...

Interesting. How to do a Monte Carlo on your portfolio from the safety of your home?

Thanks for your insights LazyInvestor! So how does the practical side work? When I want to put my funds on an investment account (preferably all of them on one account) for easy rebalancing and not hit by fees when moving funds between accounts and maybe even countries. You said to buy the equities ...

All lifecycle funds start with the allocation of your age or are there variations? Like it starts with 100-0 or 80-20?

Someone with more computing power, time or expertise have done the comparison of Boglehead-Lifecycle to Permanent Portfolio? It would be interesting.

No one in my shoes? I thought this question is in the interest for quite a few people. Really.

If I remember correctly Sharpe ratio was featured here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160324133 ... l-returns/
Is it removed with the new design? What's the aggregate Sharpe value?

I have to quote LazyInvestor's post from the thread - http://gyroscopicinvesting.com/forum/variable-portfolio-discussion/best-broker-for-us-and-eu/ - which has been misplaced to the Variable Portfolio branch for better exposure here - and I am looking for the Permanent part. For >10K accounts, I thi...

Peak2Trough: Possibly could you or would you make your calculator able to calculate some gearing with the PP? Like 1.5x, 2x. Out if pure academic interest to see where it hits a margin call. - http://gyroscopicinvesting.com/forum/variable-portfolio-discussion/having-another-pp-for-a-vp-but-with-a-2...

I might be interested in listening to this. Which one is a good 'overview' episode?

MR stands for...?

I have found this book: http://www.amazon.com/Misconceptions-Risk-Terje-Aven/dp/0470683880 At least the manuscript as a some seemingly legit download from Diderot University Paris: http://didel-old.script.univ-paris-diderot.fr/claroline/backends/download.php?url=L01pc2NvbmNlcHRpb25zX29mX1Jpc2sucGRm&...

Then again, I've heard TD has horrible fraud protections, meaning if someone hacks your account, they tell you to f-off, whereas a legit brokerage would assist you in recovering your assets, or make you whole out of their pocket if necessary. That sentence peaked my interest in this resurrected top...

I know. The question is can you do it with ETFs and is it worth it? Compared to Interactive Brokers (for a non US person) for example.

I would really like to d this - ON PAPER:

If you are not a US person you can use CFDs.

Who played with this a lot: how often is best to rebalance?

I would like to know the forum nick of the author. Thanks.

Could you make a dummy simulation of this one - just for education purposes? Having another PP for a VP but with a 2:1 leverage (using CFDs)? http://gyroscopicinvesting.com/forum/variable-portfolio-discussion/having-another-pp-for-a-vp-but-with-a-21-leverage-(using-cfds)/ To see at what times it get...

Long story short: pros and cons of maintaining my portfolio with a 'street name' brokerage vs. an 'equities in my name' brokerage? And a separate list of both types? I greatly appreciate you.

That is already to complicated to me where he says he is tweaking it here, changing it there I lost the line. What I would be looking for is simply leveraging a solid PP 2:1.

Thanks for sharing, nonetheless.

Which can you recommend for non-US residents investing in the US market?

I didn't make it through there posting my very first post. Did I win?

Also worth taking into consideration if equities are held in your name or the broker's name. In Australia it is called CHESS sponsored, I don't know about the US. Interactive Brokers doesn't have segregated user accounts; equities are held in the name of the broker. See this thread (featuring IB): h...
