That would be it. I'll post more about it once the systems get the titles all straightened out for pre-orders.dualstow wrote:Is the correct title, "The Permanent Portfolio: Harry Browne’s Long-Term Investment Strategy"?craigr wrote: ..

Yes, that's me.dualstow wrote: Med Tex, did you write all those Joe DeMarco thrillers?
I just hope you embedded lots of juicy pp references in those novels, or at least the one in which the hero dispatches the bad guy with a carpet steamer.MediumTex wrote:Yes, that's me.dualstow wrote: Med Tex, did you write all those Joe DeMarco thrillers?
I am the author of many Tom Clancy-ish books who is making a foray into the world of investing.
Just kidding.
There is some incorrect information in that listing. The authors should be listed as "Craig Rowland and M. Tex".
It's too bad because "How to Build a Bombproof Permanent Portfolio" is a title that cannot be improved upon. Now that I've thought of my portfolio as "bombproof", there's no going back to wimpy adjectives like "defensive" or "diversified". I like to picture my Permanent Portfolio taking a direct hit from a nuclear warhead and giving off nothing but a warm, peaceful glow as it protects my now-irradiated-but-still-mostly-intact nest egg.craigr wrote: The title is incorrect though and will get updated by the publisher.
I went by "BigTex" on another forum and decided to start fresh with a new identity and lower profile.Alanw wrote: MT,
Where did you come up with the pseudonym "Medium Tex"? Whenever I am on this forum, I envision you riding a horse on the plains of Texas complete with cowboy hat and six shooter on your side. Also, the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles comes to mind.
Congtrats to you and Craig on the book deal. I wish you both much success.
I think BrowneOut would be a great sniglet for a temporary lack of faith in the pp, something we all experience from time to time. Or most of us, I suspect. "The yield on the 30-Year can't possibly go lower. I'm having a Browne Out!"MediumTex wrote: ...

I like the title they put up. It's eye catching and it will appeal to those who are looking to protect their investments. Remember marketing is everything. Just ask the expert.craigr wrote: I guess the word is out. The title is incorrect though and will get updated by the publisher. But I think pre-ordering is still possible.
As I understand, a kindle version will be available.pp2910 wrote: Any chance you can persuade the publisher to create a kindle version? I would love to have it on my kindle (well kindle app on my tablet).
While I like the "Bombproof" part, that would have been the subtitle, and the title would have been "Inside the Investment Bunker", which doesn't necessarily convey the all-weather nature of the PP. In other words, the PP is not just for when bombs are falling.Lone Wolf wrote: Congratulations! Very exciting to see the book already leaving its little digital footprints around the web even before birth.

I think this is a great title as it will get found if people are searching using these words. Does what it says on the tin.craigr wrote:That would be it.
