How do you feel about the riots?

I support the protests but oppose the riots.

I voted left; I consider myself to be a pretty garden variety Democrat.

I'm mostly lurking this board as there are usually some interesting threads about the PP. Of course I noticed the political threads lately and I've been pretty interested in them. As a Dutch citizen this board gives me a different perspective of what's going on in the US. What struck me is how comp...

While they aren't TIPS, ibonds could make sense for part of the cash portion.

You can use wget to download the crawling road podcasts from archive.org. Or so I'm told.

I wish everyone well and hope you've been able to enjoy the stability and peace of mind I've had from the Permanent Portfolio over the years. I was happy to find Harry Browne's advice on it so long ago. It's great to see that it still serves the intended purpose of growing ones life savings in a sa...

I would also travel some distance for a meetup.

I second that motion, Kbg. I am glad you post here, Vinny.

Smith,

I don't have any good advice (or bad advice, for that matter) for you; I just wanted to let you know that I am pulling for you and that you seem like the caliber of person who will get through this just fine. I hope you will keep us posted!

I was also unaware of his work against Snowden; that's pretty disqualifying in my book.

If it were me, I would go with the lowest premium one ounce coin I could find. Better to take the lower premium now than hope for a higher one on resale.

I don't dislike him; I assume you have an opinion since you asked; what do you think about Biden?

I am soon to be a Level 4 investor. The book advises that the best way to invest in gold is to own it. What is a level 4 investor anyway? Is that a Robert Kiyosaki book? I think the level 4 investor is a reference to Craig's/MT's book; I want to say that means stocks in via a fund or etf, bonds hel...

That's really great news; hopefully that means no more commissions on Gold ETF purchases!

Frugal,

If I was a member of an EU country, I would probably keep my stock portfolio in either an all-EU index fund or a total world index fund. Why complicate things?

Wonderful idea. I agree with mark on the name, though.

Just a quick update for anyone that cares ... I decided to exit the workforce and take a lengthy break from employment. It might end up being "retirement" but I'm not sure yet. I told my wife I planned to take somewhere between two weeks and 20 years off before considering next steps. But...

PS, In years past, KDE has had a reputation as being "bloated" and suitable only for more powerful machines. More recently, I have heard from several people that KDE is much more lightweight than it was previously; you seem to agree. To what do you attribute this change? 1. We're benefiti...

Very cool stuff, PS.

I hope Xan doesn't mind if I take a brief opportunity to send people to my new company website.

As long as the Saints keep winning all is right in the world. :D Green Bay aint so good without their QB. WhoDat. You're telling me! Still way closer of a game than it should've been. WhoDat.
