Gyroscopic Investing

Bloggers, wiki editors and others….

With the release of the new book we feel it has a lot of information that can help your readers if you follow the Permanent Portfolio. Of course though we're biased. But really we cover a lot of topics that even if they're not a Permanent Portfolio follower they could still use, such as:

- How to buy stock exposure the right way.
- Bonds to own and bonds to avoid.
- How to hold cash in a very safe way.
- The best way to buy and hold gold safely and securely.
- The benefits of geographic diversification.
- Etc.

So if you run a blog, edit a relevant wiki, or post on a forum that covers these topics a mention of the book would be appreciated. We are not looking for spamming or sock puppets however. The book stands on its own and we don't need these tactics used. However we are very certain that if you participate in a gold forum for instance that this book will have very relevant information for those readers even if they hate long term bonds. Even Bill Bernstein of Four Pillars of Investing fame (and gold skeptic) said in his Amazon Review:

Bill Bernstein wrote:The chapter on the rationales for buying gold, and the mechanics specific to each goal, is worth the price of the book alone. Even if you're a gold skeptic like me, you'll learn a great deal about the global marketplaces for the yellow metal. You may even find yourself imagining you're on the last train out of St. Petersberg in 1917 or Berlin in 1939.

Same for investing forums where people may want to find a better way to grow and protect their money that doesn't involve risking their life savings. Any help in spreading the word is appreciated and any reviews on Amazon and other relevant book sites or posts are always welcome as well.

Also, feel free also to post links to your blog, wiki, etc. here so everyone can visit and see what you are about.

Thanks!

Hi:

We have added the new book, as well as the authors, to our wiki over at bogleheads. Here are the links to pages which include these references:

Craig Rowland - Bogleheads
J. M. Lawson - Bogleheads
Category:Bogleheads Authors - Bogleheads
Books: Recommendations and Reviews - Bogleheads

In addition, I made a small stylistic edit (header title ==External links==) to the ERE wiki page devoted to the Permanent Portfolio, as well as a brief introductory segment at the top of the page, before the table of contents. This is standard editing procedure a la wikipedia. (The intro is source referenced; this is a manually produced footnote since the version of mediawiki that the ERE wiki is using does not include the cite extension.)

Permanent Portfolio - Early Retirement Extreme Wiki

Thank you Barry. The Boglehead's Wiki looks great. All of you have done a great job on it and it contains a ton of great information.
