Gyroscopic Investing

Can it be? Yes it's true after a very hectic year, another podcast has been made and hopefully more will be coming at a more frequent pace as time permits. This one is a quick overview of gold in the Permanent Portfolio and completes the series of podcasts on the basic assets of stocks, bonds, cash and now gold.

Future podcasts will cover this topic in much more detail...

Very good podcast, thanks Craig!

Thanks, it's been a while! I posted some more details about the content of this podcast on my blog for future reference:

- Owning physical gold and what kind to buy.

- Reasons for holding gold outside the country (with future discussions on how to do it easily and safely).

- Gold funds you can consider owning if convenience is more important than safety.

- Why you probably aren’t going to be able to get your gold from a gold fund even if they tell you that it’s possible.

- Why you shouldn’t own Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) for your gold allocation in the portfolio.

- Why you shouldn’t own collateralized commodity futures instead of gold.

- Why the government doesn’t care about hurting people with inflation and how they are likely to behave when inflation is bad.

- How gold can work in concert with stocks and bonds to produce superior after-inflation returns over time.
