UPDATE
My portfolio drawdown is about the same as the HBPP... -8.8%. But my growth has been a lot more, over the past two years (I've been gone about that period of time, right?) my portfolio is up 67% (of course, that includes new money as well as internal growth), and now I'm retirement-ready. I could hang it up at any time, but I have to keep working for the health insurance, until I can get on COBRA and coast to Medicare. That date is 12/31/2024.
67% TAA equity {currently in cash}
15% gold and miners
1% oil and gas well limited partnership
2% Bitcoin
1% Total Bond Fund
14% I-Bonds and Cash

I remember when you were aquiring gold coins regularly until you hit a certain allocation. I wish I had been doing the same at those prices.
9pm EST Explosions in Iran (Isfahan) and Syria and Iraq. Not yet confirmed.
Re: Tactical Asset Allocation + HBPP an intriguing combo
Lately I am sitting on a 13% drawdown from the portfolio peak in late 2021. Most of it was attributable to my Junior gold Miners which collapsed, and also Bitcoin. I sold the BTC at a very good profit, but still took a massive DD from the peak value. I'm happy with -13% overall, I'm beating the 60/40 and even the 40/60. I'm beating the HBPP I think, which really is my benchmark for downside, not the 60/40.
Hindsight is 20-20... I wish I had just allocated to gold, not miners. But I got greedy. Greed will get you. But I am holding. I'm glad I got rid of the BTC, it was semi-fun while it lasted. Maybe again if it just cliff-dives to $3,500 which Gareth Soloway is not ruling out as a possible target.
Right now I'm sitting almost 100% in auto-rolled 13 week T-Bills, waiting for momentum to come back to some sector, but prepared to sit. I still have physical gold, the Junior Gold Miners, I-Bonds. I'm enjoying having a temporary holiday from being invested, it's calming.
I am noticing the historic drawdown in the HBPP and Golden Butterfly, a good sign for new entrants.
