Arnold S was a Republican, correct! Were you there when he was governor? If so, what was your evaluation of him? He had two terms? Love him as an actor. Just saw a great one of him the other night that was in total contrast to all his other roles. He'd lost his wife and daughter in a plane crash in this movie. No action hero in this one.

Vinny
If it was legal for him to be President he would have run.

Honestly, I think we would have won, too.

If so, I think he may have been the first Republican (maybe) presidential candidate I would have voted for if it was him or Biden.

This month really reminds me of October 2008 personally, the way stocks, bonds, and gold are trading. I'm just waiting for the Lehman announcement, something like TSLA going under when it can't get the credit it needs to keep the lights on.
True. October is when the bottom dropped out. I just remember March being the bottom and it was just a weird feeling.

As far as "increasing risk tolerance" of the PP have you looked at the Golden Butterfly? This is probably the most popular portfolio here, it's basically a PP with a 20% VP to small cap value.

Golden Butterfly: https://portfoliocharts.com/portfolio/golden-butterfly/

You can also spice it up a bit more by cutting down on the cash. For instance I have 5% of the cash in REIT's currently. Tyler has 10% of the cash in REIT's. You could substitute all or part of the cash (or the small cap value bucket) for anything else you desire as well like emerging markets, international, trend following, commodities, whatever. There's some flexibility in the framework so long as you don't get too carried away.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out!
