That is always a tricky comparison as all things have to be equal. So higher than previous all-time high for the exact same time period?
And, is that 7.7% higher 7.7% added to the previous return? Or 7.7% of the previous return?

Opposite: I thought you were going to say not putting so much into cash. Still, if you were in your late 50’s or older by then, I can undertand the desire to sock more away in non-stocks.vnatale wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 8:52 am ..
I made my only investments now 21 years ago in January 2003. All investments since have gone into cash.

Seems like I would have been much better off over these last 21 years by having done the exact opposite. Having the bulk in Growth and giving away the Value funds.

pretty much the same if i take all my models plus cash and make one big portfoliovnatale wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:01 pmDoing all that cash worked out well during 2007 / 2008 and other down periods. At this point, I'm at about 50 / 50, equity / (fixed + cash).dualstow wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 7:18 pmOpposite: I thought you were going to say not putting so much into cash.

The mean expected real rate of return for this portfolio is 5.6% over the last 46+ years. If you take the real rate of return from 1978 and plot highs and lows, the mean is 5.6%. Projected over a long time horizon, it gives you an idea of what the expected value of these assets as a whole should be. Keep in mind:

All good. The lesson might only be applicable in one in ten lifetimes or so.mathjak107 wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 4:43 pm i gave up trying to watch it unfortunately..to long and boring for me to focus on it..

Aren't they a killer of any portfolio that heavily relies on nominal bonds? Many people over at the Bogleheads forum weren't satisfied with their 60/40 portfolios either over the last years either.mathjak107 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 9:32 am long term bonds and if short term bonds funds were used , them too, plus a negative year for equities in 2022.
like i said years ago , rising rates would be kryptonite to the pp
Yes. But a time period that short carries no weight in making any kind of interpretations of the facts.mathjak107 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 2:32 pm depends on the bond funds held and their duration as far as how bad they would get hit.
a leveraged risk parity portfolio performed very differently in the 2022 down turn as well .. it had better returns , lower risk , less draw down then the pp did. i posted the carolina reaper results above which i use compared to the pp over the last few years which were awful for the pp
so rising rates can have a different effect on different portfolio design
look at the results thru the worst years we just had that i posted above.
i am starting to think that conventional portfolios with their inherent risks may no longer be the best way to be defensive.
here is jan 2024 to may 1 as well . big difference in risk vs reward
