Sounds like silver will be $95 at open?




If that is true, then I bet it will be over $100 by the end of the day on Monday.

This is what I have been doing for a while now. 33% stocks, 33% treasury bills, 33% gold. I got lucky and just rebalanced out of gold before the latest crash. I believe it was the belangp videos that first got me comfortable with 33% gold with his 67% stocks, 33% gold allocation. https://gyroscopici...

I did just sell some gold right now to rebalance my 1/3 cash, stocks and gold portfolio

Gold was around 5320 at the time

That probably means it will be 6000 by the end of the week but I still have a lot.

I can't say that I have read much into the situation but I did read that there is now more European defenses going into Greenland now. I figured that was really the end goal. If he has to threaten to take it over himself to get it to be defended then that ends up being a pretty good deal. Coming off...

This post made me look into NTSX since I had never heard of it. It sounds like they are essentially buying treasury bonds on margin using the 10% cash position as collateral? That gives them better margin rates than a traditional margin account? Maybe this will out perform but it doesn't seem worth ...

Any insurance coverage for deposits in banks?

Rates are not worth long bonds in USA


Something like this might be better?

Just do three assets instead of four?

Stocks, gold, and fiat?

But to answer your question asked elsewhere, Vinny: No, I don’t think you’ll be able to type texts on your PC if you have an iPhone. You need a Mac for that.

I think Larry Swedroe's oft-cited rule of thumb - 20 basis points in additional interest for each year of additional bond duration - is still a great place to start in terms of looking at duration and interest rate risk. By that metric you'd want to stick with 0-5 year durations right now. Of cours...

At this point I am happy enough making sure my stock fund contains MicroStrategy. That gets me enough exposure to Bitcoin since they hold so much Bitcoin. Think of Bitcoin as a single stock like NVIDIA or Amazon that has done really well. Sure I wish I would have gone all in on those stocks before t...

I do think it has use case myself though in Transferring wealth across borders. I assume this happens and Bitcoin wins this one for now?

Ditching a Phone Case Is the Latest Symbol of Stealth Wealth

Phone cases are for the poor.

With that said, I would never spend extra for OtterBox. I buy whatever looks to be best value in the moment.

In response to the equity market’s growing concentration of Big Tech firms, S&P has announced that it will reduce the weightings of the biggest market leaders in proportion to their capitalization if they surpass certain size thresholds in key industry benchmarks. https://www.tradealgo.com/news...

Is it just me or is anyone else scared of gold crashing from 2500?

I am having thoughts of abandoning gold at these prices.

Interview with Claudia Sahm posted an hour ago:

That has been a tough problem for me as well boglerdude. I have been doing the intermediate term option as my solution by using the GOVT etf which does also have slice of long term treasuries but is effectively an intermediate fund. This has just now made me wonder if an even better option would be ...

Thanks for the thought dumps in the last couple of posts. I enjoyed the reads. 425's post left me thinking about why would it be Bitcoin that people save in? I can only think of it as a last ditch effort for savings in a country where you have no legal rights to your savings. The better options in c...

I looked at value funds really hard and couldn't bring myself to believe in them. I think for a value fund to continuously work it would have to be a highly active fund. From what I could remember, all of the historical out performance is based on indexes that were not actual funds during the out pe...

Wow 15%. I am glad it paid off. That would scare me too much with its volatility. 1 or 2% is still about all I think I could stomach but it wouldn't really make any difference at that level so still not in it.


Michael Saylor is for sure a great salesman. He is so entertaining to watch.

What percentage would you allocate to bitcoin in your portfolio? Would it be enough to matter?

Why not invest the same amount in a single stock like NVIDIA or MicroStrategy that would have had an even better return over the last year?

Interesting. I don't know that I watched it completely but from what I saw, his intelligence is what I noticed more than anything. The next thing I was shocked by is that he hasn't even spoken to Biden since the conflict started. https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/tucker-carlson-interviews-vladimi...

Thank you for the reminder of intermittent fasting. This has been a game changer for me. Most recently before that I was trying to just eat healthier with low carb but it was unrealistic for my cravings. I had previously had trouble with intermittent fasting but something was finally able to click i...

I have also thought about this conundrum and took cash out of Roth accounts. I now just do three equal parts of stocks, gold and intermediate bonds in Roth and traditional retirement accounts. Then save in only cash outside of retirement accounts. It ends up being balanced enough for me. If somehow ...

I kind of do 33 x 3 but use a total bond fund more like an intermediate bond fund. I also save cash separately.

It has had more volatility historically but a bit higher return.

I found this interesting. US Bank covers 4 major asset classes that are essentially the 4 parts of the permanent portfolio.
