Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
REALLY . WHAT ARE FOLKS GOING TO BID UP PRICES WITH IF THEY LOST EVERYTHING , THEIR GOOD LOOKS ?
WHY ARE YOU SO IN TO PERSONAL ATTACKS . NO ONE ATTACKS YOU WITH NAME CALLING OR ANYTHING ELSE DEROGATORY AND YOUR STATEMENTS ARE USUALLY FAR FROM CORRECT .
they reflect no data , no facts just these visions in your head yet i remain quite civil with you . if you can't do the same then refrain from replying to my posts . then you don't have to deal with my stupidity as you called it ..
DO YOU SEE ANY OF US HERE INSULTING EACH OTHER IN THIS DISCUSSION ?

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
Because you act like someone who has a gold-phobia and are now going absolutely batshit crazy 24/7 nonstop 1 post/5 seconds posting about how everybody is a moron for holding gold, or in fact, anything else than your portfolio.mathjak107 wrote: REALLY .

You are doing this probably because you are incredibly insecure about your own portfolio, which i can understand, as someone must be close to insane being very heavy on stocks right now, but that's ok, some people like to gamble.
But stop posting absolute nonsense and plain lies, it's not helping anyone, it's more likely to be harmful.
And insulting? Really? If someone says something stupid, I call them stupid, if people can't even handle that anymore, we're doomed either way, with whatever portfolio.

WE ARE HAVING A VERY EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSION HERE . THERE ARE POINTS OF INFORMATION HERE THAT WERE WRONG AND DATA THAT WAS INACCURATE . IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY LOVE OR HATE FOR GOLD .
YOU RARELY ADD ANYTHING TO ANY POST I HAVE HAD WITHOUT IT BEING SOME CATASTROPHIC SCENARIO WHERE ONLY GOLD SURVIVES .
IT IS THE SAME CHICKEN LITTLE SCENARIO'S OVER AND OVER AS YOU VISION THEM .
MAYBE THY WILL PLAY OUT , MAYBE THEY WON'T BUT THE POINT IS WHAT YOU THINK IS WORTH NO MORE OR LESS THEN WHAT I THINK THE FUTURE HOLDS .
not all of us live our lives based on remote what if's

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
Oh, Bullshit! We've been talking about retiring in 1965 and SWRs which are retirement concepts, so 50/50 is the appropriate portfolio since that is what you have now. Don't change the terms of the debate. What would you have chosen in 1965 for a retirement portfolio if not 50/50? You get no benefit of hindsight in choosing.mathjak107 wrote: except the 50/50 is not a model i would have used nor most folks back then for growth . a diversified mix of almost all equity's would have been .
the 50/50 is a retirement mix or a mix for the feint of heart , not someone who wants to maximize growth .
so like the pp it is more for some one more concerned with trying to not grow poorer then grow richer .
big difference over my accumulation years between he growth model and a 50/50 model .
every one has their own pucker factor and the fear and worry of loss will always be the same when that level is breached whether 100% equity or in the pp . . the only difference is your belief in the fact that like always , things will recover in a fair amount of time .

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
yes if we are taking retirement then yes 50/50 would have still been my choice but if you were talking getting better performance with other assets then i assume you are talking going for more growth .
.last sentance below in your post . in which case if i was looking to accumulate more i would have had a very heavy equity mix instead .

i have no problem with a 5 or 10% position in gold , i agree with bill.
but i do have an issue personally with the same amount in gold as i do bonds and stocks .
that is my only objection to the gold part .

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
As a rule of thumb, each 10% allocation to gold adds roughly .43% real CAGR after the 4% SWR when taken from 10yr bonds. I suppose now we could craft a retirement portfolio to get the exact net real return we want to get. Is there a comfortable margin of safety to shoot for in terms of real CAGR buffer?mathjak107 wrote: yes if we are taking retirement then yes 50/50 would have still been my choice but if you were talking getting better performance with other assets then i assume you are talking going for more growth .

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
can't say , i don't follow what it is you are trying to simulate and why you think it would even hold true going forward . . that would only be true if gold was going up more than bonds .. but then again i could likely do even better just increasing the equity allocation or if that was true why not 50% stocks and 50% gold and no bonds ?

In fact if you really believe that, then the PP is perfect for you because its all about not simulating or checking history. Which I certainly don't agree with.

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
thank you .
i guess it is as they say , ignorance is bliss . . there have been many issues here that were just not accurate before i came along . sorry if i had to bring along some facts and figures that showed the error in a lot of thinking here and ruined the fact many of you were blindly believing the bull-sh%t you handed each other like some kind of support group .
hey if you guys don't want me spoiling the party i will just leave the forum . you can just close your eyes to educating yourselves and keep on believing what you want .
there is nothing wrong with the pp as it is if that is the plan you think will work for you .
but what is wrong is the attempts to make the pp in to things it was never designed for by cherry picking certain time frames or comparing to other portfolios during time frames that were not the best time frames for that mix of investments , or even trying to show it was as good a growth vehicle as anything else and then selecting perfect time frames or bending them . we have folks trying to create data that does not exist based on what they think would have happened with other assets like silver , like this discussion here on safe withdrawal rates .
of course if you do this with conventional portfolio's you are data mining or get the how do you know it will do that in the future . but when select data is pulled out or created out of the air for the pp suddenly it is ok .
perhaps those who drink the kool-aid don't see this being done but this forum is filled with these attempts .
just accept the pp for what it is without all this mental masturbation patting each other on the back and trying to constantly make comparisons turning it in to a support group rather then something educational with an exchange of information from both sides . .
like i said , you guys don't want to hear the negatives or inaccuracy's , fine i will go . just close yourself off and keep congratulating each other .

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
Why is true diversity of opinion such an anathema in here? Although I don't always agree with Mr. mathjak he adds a lot to these threads and makes one question himself, which is a good thing.
I just feel that Mr. mathjak should understand that he isn't an expert as his one week entrance and exit from the PP proves.

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
This is a great thread. Carry on, guys.
Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
Open discussion of diverse perspectives is great. Repeating the same complaints even after others have thoughtfully replied, falsely accusing people of fabricating and cherry picking data, calling people ignorant, claiming intellectual superiority, HITTING THE CAPS LOCK, saying the entire discussion is a waste of time, and generally filibustering all topics you do not personally agree with is anything but an open discussion. And all of that is in this thread alone. It's not a matter of drinking the kool aid. It's an issue of mutual respect.mathjak107 wrote: i guess it is as they say , ignorance is bliss . . there have been many issues here that were just not accurate before i came along . sorry if i had to bring along some facts and figures that showed the error in a lot of thinking here and ruined the fact many of you were blindly believing the bull-sh%t you handed each other like some kind of support group .
...perhaps those who drink the kool-aid don't see this being done but this forum is filled with these attempts .
I admit I'm kinda disappointed that a topic I spent a lot of time on has been overrun by chest beating. That's generally not how this board has historically operated, and hopefully it's only temporary. If anyone offers a rebuttal, that's fine. I've said my peace and refuse to contribute to further arguments.
In the meantime -- I'll take one of those pizza rolls, Dragoncar. http://totinos.tumblr.com/

That's true, but it goes both ways.... both for extremes in the current moment as well as historical extremes that "can't possibly be exceeded" in the future. All we have to base our portfolio design on is history, simulation, probabilities and deep thinking. A portfolio design is not going to break just because you substitute the point-in-time actual reality that silver was practical legal gold if it is a truly robust one.mathjak107 wrote: thinking this time is different has been the most costliest thinking in the financial world , john templton was so right about that .

Re: Why the PP is better in accumulation than you think
Ditto. I've learned a lot from mathjak about retirement concepts that I never really paid attention too before as well as the proven power of discipline. Talk is cheap, but mathjak has walked the talk. So he deserves some respect at the very least.Reub wrote: Why is true diversity of opinion such an anathema in here?
