The Top 4 Portfolios to Recession-Proof Your Investments
I started by simply wondering which portfolios performed best during recessions, and came out of it with a new appreciation for just how resilient certain strategies are in all kinds of economic situations that you would never expect. The fact that I'm posting it here should give you a clue to one portfolio on the list, but the other three also come up on the forum quite a bit.

Hoo boy, looks good. I'm going to make a nice cup of coffee and sit down for this one.

Great article, Tyler. I always peek at the charts first and at first i thought, Boy am I in the wrong portfolio, and how come he put all the charts upside down. After reading carefully, I am now feeling very satisfied.
Re: The Top 4 Portfolios to Recession-Proof Your Investments
Cue the Twiglight Zone theme song! Yesterday I heard friend of mine who is a high net worth individual financial advisor (you should see his "yacht!") who was keeping 20% of his assets in cash and advocating that if you can get 3% unrisked you should jump on it. That got me thinking more than usual about all the recession storm clouds that appear to be swirling about. I was composing a thread in my head called "Should the Golden Butterfly migrate south for the winter?" that poses the question whether given the "forecast" of inclement weather should I trim back a GB position to a more safe HBPP harbor. Lo and behold, Tyler posts an incredibly timely and very informative post that exactly addresses my concern!
Well done again, Tyler! I didn't know about the your coffee machine on your website before but it is way cool! However when I tried to buy you a venti coffee for some reason the vending machine kept grinding and wouldn't take my money. I will try again later but I would hope everyone who benefits from your charts and writings would chip in a cup or two or five and keep you well caffeinated.
Thanks again!

As an aside, have you considered adding return data for silver to Portfolio Charts?

I appreciate your persistence. Please PM me if you continue having problems. It's a good service and I haven't heard of any other issues like that.PP67 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 10:49 am Well done again, Tyler!

I did look at silver a few years ago. I think what turned me off is how the wild spike around 1980 really jacks with the historical numbers, but now that my tools have matured a bit maybe I can revisit the idea.

My stats show that the Desert Portfolio performed in-line with the PP during those times and that is the Portfolio I have been holding for the last few years.
Re: The Top 4 Portfolios to Recession-Proof Your Investments
Nice! The Desert Portfolio is very similar in structure to the All-Seasons portfolio, so it does not surprise me at all that it also provided excellent downside protection.
Re: The Top 4 Portfolios to Recession-Proof Your Investments
Nice investigation and write up Tyler.
Were you riffing of this slighty odd article at Monevator ? https://monevator.com/how-to-protect-yo ... n-a-crisis
I almost felt like they were dodging the conclusions that you've pushed up front in your article.
Hopefully they'll pick up your write up this week.

Re: The Top 4 Portfolios to Recession-Proof Your Investments
Not directly, although I do like Monevator quite a bit and read it regularly. I just noticed lots of recession stories all over the place the last few weeks and figured a study on recession-proof portfolios was timely.gizmo_rat wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2019 8:59 am Were you riffing of this slighty odd article at Monevator ? https://monevator.com/how-to-protect-yo ... n-a-crisis
