With Craig and Medium Tex busy and their presence sorely missed, I and a few of the other regular permanent portfolio posters, have noticed that every now and then, a new investor/new forum members questions are getting missed in the rush to answer the big questions such as morality, religion, statism VS anarchy and the perfectly fine-tuned Paleo diet.
I am confident that we have plenty of people here who can give a solid "standard permanent portfolio" answer to any of these questions, and quite a few more who can fine tune those answers with in-depth analysis.. lets try to keep up the great work started by Craig and Medium Tex and spread the wisdom to those who ask...
If you see a question going unanswered, or a thread that needs traffic, or one that you are just not feeling up to answering, or if you need to bring attention to your unanswered question, please post a link to it here. and lets all jump in as best we can when this thread pops up in your unread posts list...
Thanks

Re: unanswered question link thread
Thank you l82start. This is sure to be a valuable thread and much appreciated. Craig and MediumTex established a solid foundation with their commentary on this board and I personally would benefit from the knowledge of more seasoned investors during periods of uncertainty. It's been a difficult week, but only because I have anchored on a previous portfolio high point. The PP is performing as advertised, but pre-conceived notions of the portfolio hedging equity declines may require some mental adjustment.
I am most pleased with the PP when equities lose value and the PP eakes out a modest positive return.

stop loss orders
Are stop loss orders part of the PP? If so what are the the specifics?
