And, have any MSM outlets reported on the fizzle like they did the sizzle? I haven’t seen it. The Washington Post actually did do a backhanded article admitting that there was nothing there. Just standard outgoing presidential memorabilia. Of course, they still had to chalk it up to the Donald bein...

Good timing of the raid and sensational story versus the actual, though, vis a vis the elections.

Not going to do Covid 2 on this thread. Appreciate Krieg’s writing. The S men are factually incorrect, lying and/or totally deluded. All we’re doing here now is providing a platform for Russian or hard right American propaganda. I’m out. #NAFOfella I'm an American, not Russian, and not even close t...

btw Perun on youtube is highly recommended. 1 hour powerpoint presentation about war and logistics every weekend. This most recent one about lies and armies is brilliant. Most likely applicable to corporate life in your own company if you're not yet retired. I’ve been watching his presentations for...

There, it was said.
More often than “LTTs are up nicely today”

But, yes, nice to see

I've been taking classes after work on the daily to finish a Diploma in Information Technology and Management from Thompson Rivers University.

As I see it (based on applicable vanguard funds): * ST TIPS are doing better (less bad) than short term treasuries this year * Federal Money Market doing better than ST TIPS this year * All nowhere near keeping up with inflation * For the past 5 years, ST TIPS wins. Over 100% higher return than it's...

Why do BHs love them...they eliminate inflation risk which is a HUGE benefit. And yet I see that iShares TIPS Bond ETF is down 17.78% YTD. And yes, I get that the performance of a fund is different than buying a bond and holding it to maturity. Still, that just looks to me like another asset that i...

I’ve stuck with ~50% stocks while incorporating LTT and Gold

Definitely would be better off financially if I had stuck with more the 65/35 ish I back before (TSM/SCV/INTL;TBM)

But, slept a lot better

So, I figure it worked out ok and I learned a thing or two

Gold is up today! (20220916)

I predict it won’t go down for at least two day

Maybe more, but hard to project out that far

Dieter

9/13: August inflation higher than expected

Results:

TIPS funds down

LTT up

Huh?

Although only minimally -- just a rounding error vs stocks down 4%
