1- how you add funds to PP ? Multiples of 40k ? 4x10k$?

2 -  Who is Clive, what he did  :) and what is MIA ?


Thank you
Clive was a regular poster here who had numerous ideas about how to tweak the PP for higher returns or less volatility or both, one of which was the observation that 25% cash and 25% LTT (bond barbell) might as well be 50% intermediate term bonds which you could implement with a 10-year ladder.  He regularly deleted his old posts, but some time ago (following a heated exchange, I think with MT) deleted all his posts and no longer contributes (has gone "Missing In Action").

His presence in this forum is sorely missed.

Clive is from the UK, and he still participates on the bogleheads forum.

He is missed. Though, he must have proposed over 5,000 different passive investment portfolios and nobody really knows if the majority of his ideas ever really panned out. And now they're all in a trash can somewhere, so I guess we'll never know.
Nothing I say should be construed as advice or expertise. I am only sharing opinions which may or may not be applicable in any given case.

Craigr or MediumTex for sure have a backup of the forum.
