Love the book.
Kinda like Harry Browne 401.
Thanks!

I do like your suggestion on the bonds.And holding gold coins.
I'm thinking keeping it simple at the start and then build on that over time.

You guys are the best.Thanks!

Sometimes I sit and think,other times I just sit. I've been reading this site for months.Read Fail Safe Investing and the  Permanent Portfolio. Very refreshing after wandering in the desert.A big thanks to all for the education. I plan to set up a simple four ETF portfolio by the new year.Just a cou...

Thanks for allow of your thoughts.
Still reading..

Is there a way to track the daily and todate performance.
I'd like to compare them as to return,drawdown,etc.
Please excuse all the questions but I have searched and
this is just too cool.

Thanks Adam.
So if one asset class falls below 15% or rises above 35%,
I would rebalance back to 4x25%.
That is rather elegent and simple.

Sorry.I asked the question wrong.
I meant to ask which is the preferred etf to own for the 25% gold allociation.

Still haven't found in the old discussions a clear suggestion
on how you guys are rebalancing for tax efficiency in a taxable account.
Quarterly,six months,yearly?When assets classes exceed certain percentages
of the account?
Big thank you..

Has the board settled on a preferred ETF for tracking gold?
Thanks

Down for me too.
Thought I'd screwed it up on my second day....

Yea,I'm older!

Thanks for all of your comments.I've read most of the discussions.
I noticed that PERM does have very light volume but it will be an
excellent option.I'll be looking but assume it's closer to the 4x25%.
Thanks again.

This permanent portfilio sure sounds like what I need. Wondering why so many of you are doing some version of the 4x25%? Do you like the active management and feel like you can get a higher return? I think I would tend to over think it and kill the return.Any comment? I see some comments on the fund...
