More nice charts - Ivy Portfolio, Mebane Faber

The Ivy portfolio is a lazy portfolio with only five components that is worth looking at. It performs better when you add in simple once monthly timing analysis (buy if price above 10 month MA, sell below).

Yeah...we've discussed it a few times on this board in the past.

I'd be curious to know what the experience of anyone who decided to use it was.

FWIW, the August 31, 2015 10 month simple moving average signal used by the Ivy Portfolio, for PP-usable ETFs SCHB (US Equities), TLO (long Treasuries), and SGOL (gold) were all "go to cash". So a "timed PP" would be 100% cash now.

SCHB ~ VTI
TLO ~ TLT
SGOL ~ IAU, GLD

PP with timing shown below with regular PP and S&P500 with dividends reinvested. From Meb Faber research.
