The latest Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans - Trump is #329 at $2.5 billion.

I did not see any mention of anyone gaining their wealth through following the Permanent Portfolio!

A politician losing net worth while in office? Is this a first?

Harry was adamant that you make your money via work and entrepreneurship. You preserve it with the Permanent Portfolio. It is a damn good vehicle for preserving wealth. It is not a wealth generating scheme.

Not the first time it's happened and will not be the last. I'm generally so super serious that when I attempt humor no one gets it.

DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.
