Has anybody tried something like this, got any ideas how to improve it?
25% airline stocks (or the ETF "FAA")
25% stocks correlated to oil (I prefer something like BPT here - avoid the futures ETFs or oil companies)
25% natural gas income trusts (e.g. HGT,SJT which don't decay like NG futures, are the best pure-play IMHO)
25% nitrogen fertilizer stocks (highly profitable, but inverse to NG due to their NG-heavy cost structure, e.g. TNH is the pure play here)
The idea is to apply the "see-saw" principles of the PP to an aggressive stock-only VP.
Thanks
100% stock VP based on PP principles?

Re: 100% stock VP based on PP principles?
I have thought about a more volatile version of the PP with a percentage of my funds. ETF's not stocks, but it would include
Zeros for LTT's
UUP or long dollar positions in forex for cash
Silver for inflation rather than gold
SCV for stocks
Maybe you could capture more via rebalancing due to higher volatility?

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you would use Small-Cap Value for the stocks versus Small-Cap Growth? I would think that Growth would be more volatile than Value but perhaps not?clacy wrote: I have thought about a more volatile version of the PP with a percentage of my funds.
