Look into getting a french drain installed where those gullies are forming, it will capture the water where it naturally flows and get it away from the house. When they're installed properly they're a water barrier. If you did a french drain and gutters you could connect the gutter downspout to an u...

The cash. In a market crash people sell everything. I use VXX as a play on volatility for when I think they'll be some fireworks.

I don't see it as the everything bubble, I see it as the dollar bubble. Everything can't be in a bubble, there has to be something out of favor. The dollar's reserve status gives an "everything" appearance. My VP is mining stocks betting on God's money, gold and silver, which is where ever...

I am staying the course. Part of the portfolio is rebalancing non correlated assets. Not including LTTs would remove some of the magic.

A risk parity between stocks shows roughly 25% large cap, mid, small, international was the proper allocation. Interesting.

The United States has been using it's military all over the globe to get what it wants essentially. They make and break treaties, push their weight around, bomb people that they might have disagreements with. Why would having private militaries change this aspect of human behavior? We abhor the ide...

A while back, tech threw out the idea of title insurance backed by private security. I found that intriguing. I don't understand the private security thing...can anyone with the means have their own private security force? So are there competing private security companies or is there one company th...

So wouldn't that single arbiter then in fact have a monopoly on the use of force and be in essence the government? Why would I consent to their decision if it didn't fall in my favor and what consequences would they be able to bring against me if I ignored them? The single arbiter was appointed by ...

There is always a single arbiter. Each party consents to the arbiter instead of being forced by the government monopoly. To play devil's advocate, isn't that effectively what we currently have? Granted, we are all born in a country (government) that we didn't voluntarily choose. But thereafter, if ...

Can one of the hardcore libertarians explain to me simply how ownership and enforcement of property rights would exist in a system absent a single arbiter who held a monopoly on the use of force? There is always a single arbiter. Each party consents to the arbiter instead of being forced by the gov...

It's not a fund its an independent manager that uses TD Ameritrade to manage the portfolio for you. It also has a link to his podcast https://fmmoneytalkradio.com/shows/the- ... /podcasts/

I have been searching for it, I have never read it and want to re post it. There were some podcasts too, I was sent a few but not all.

Personally I think the government per se isn’t the problem, but rather the two dominant political parties who have rigged the system for their extreme wings. Thoughts/counterpoints? What did those dominant political parties use to rig it for them? Government. The government is the problem. Anything...

They foresee a gold bull run and want to get out of it. Keeping up with the physical redemption is going to get expensive. Instead of "going back on their word" they just sold it off and can blame goldman sachs for changing the fund.

boglerdude wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 2:26 am Theories on why Goldman did this?

It's cheaper than starting their own ETF and they foresee a gold bull run and want to get in on it. They will recommend their gold fund to their clients so they can collect the fees.

If you look at short timeframes on the order of days or a few months, I agree. If you look at longer timeframes on the order of a couple of years or more, I think PP assets moving together tend to eventually separate and go their own ways again. I think that using TIME as a factor oversimplifies th...
