Typical January pullback in stocks so far.  Nothing abnormal.  All sytems nominal.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, lol.
That sounds like an awful lot of international & currency risk, which is meandering a bit far past the boundaries of the PP.  Are you outside the US?

My PP-ish did 7.1% in 2014; started 2014 at roughly 13% "Cash" (STB), 20% Gold, 25% LTT, 42% Stock (~40% of Stock Intl), with a bit of tinkering to get to this allocation, which is more PP-ish than late 2013.... (in an IRA, won't touch for many years, and doesn't include my emergency fund, which partly the diff from pure PP....)

Rebalanced at start of 2015 to be around 8/25/25/42

0.3% YTD (through 1/6/15) according to Vanguard.... :)

Although tis early yet.
