See, that prove my point. It's in my possession, I forgot about it. But the ETFs are like video games, they tempt you to buy or sell.buddtholomew wrote:What about the coin at 1260...forgot that one eh?

This is an interesting, although expected, phenomenon. The less liquid an item is, the less likely we are to be traders. We have been able to liquify objects through our markets that normally would be super illiquid (and the underlying assets truly are, regardless of how many ETFs we have). Gold is fairly liquid for a real asset. Land, is not. But we can buy and sell REITs all day.ochotona wrote:See, that prove my point. It's in my possession, I forgot about it.

Yeah, it seems to take turns that GLD and IAU do not. It'll rebound tomorrow (relatively).ochotona wrote:Some dumped shares of SGOL right at market close! Down 0.42%, but gold was up. Talk about huge tracking error. Crazy nuts.
No offense intended to anyone but what does the "feeling in the air today" have to do with the permanent portfolio?

I was really hating it just a month or so ago.
Edit:
Of course this means that it is about to really tank hard. So probably a good time to sell.
It's interesting that every December now, 2015, 2016, and now 2017 we make higher lows. Maybe the bottom is in, December 2015. I said maybe.ochotona wrote:It's the scream room let people let off steam

It's something about gold. Shiny. Mesmerizing. Real, in your hands. Elicits more emotion. But I agree, I have been checking the PP much less lately, and guess what, it just keeps on chugging without me looking 8 times a day!farjean2 wrote:No offense intended to anyone but what does the "feeling in the air today" have to do with the permanent portfolio?

I read Harry Browne's book and also Craig and MT's and my impression was that the whole point of the portfolio was that it had a track record of doing well over the long haul and it would therefore free up your time and energy for other pursuits. I could be wrong but it seems to me that if you are going to keep second guessing and checking in every day then maybe this isn't the portfolio for you.
Just sayin'. Maybe some people need to make a New Years resolution not to check so often.
