No where to hide

i really abandoned the pp because after watching the bond action i did not want to place such a big bet on rates at this point with the bond  market yield s trend being up lately for months  and stock market gains just squeaking out .

MediumTex abandoned the PP at one point?

That's like... worse than the Beatles breaking up.

Since Tex isn’t here to speak for himself, can anyone elaborate on this?

I think I did not handle the deleting the quotes correctly. Therefore, I believe that was NOT Medium Tax speaking (or writing) but was, instead, mathjak.

lol okay that makes sense. It didn't look like Tex's writing, and I could find that particular sentence in his post history.

You actually had ME going for awhile. I said to myself how could I have NOT noticed Medium Tex writing something like THAT!

****couldn’t find

Lol yeah!! Honestly, it was kind of heartbreaking for a moment there thinking he said that.

It was like reading that Steve jobs interview from way back when, when he said computers weren’t changing the world.

If you go back to page 64 of the Topic (this one) you'll see BOTH Medium Tex and Craig chiming in with some quite humorous posts!

The cellphone text style lack of punctuation and capitalization indicates mathjak. He has — I forgot the medical word — neuropathy? — a problem with his fingertips which may not affect drumming but it does make typing uncomfortable(?) Do I have that right, MJ?

[mathjak107]

yes ...it is from un-diagnosed diabetes

On the bright side, at least in this forum, the people that complain most about the PP don't actually hold their entire portfolios in the 25/25/25/25 allocation. So yes, it'd appear that the rest are happy and/or not paying attention to the daily ebbs and flows.

There's not a single person around here that uses a 25/25/25/25 allocation that has lost money if they've held for longer than 12 months. What else can be said?

STILL a TRUE statement?

Vinny

No, in fact that very year the classic PP lost ~3% and in 2018 lost ~2%

In the last 11 full years 4 of them have had slightly negative returns.

It still technically /might/ be true, if there don't happen to be posters who owned a PP for exactly the wrong set of 12 months.

That’s the best you got!?
