Follow-up Question: 🤔📈 Thoughts on holding Commodities ONLY in a Variable Portfolio?

Hello PPeers, Building on the Browne vs. Dalio comparison, I’ve been thinking about the "Commodities" gap. In Dalio’s All Weather, commodities are a core structural component (7.5%) to hedge against supply-shock inflation. However, in Browne’s Permanent Portfolio, he famously excluded them...

If you're older, just get your income from bonds.
Hi 👋🏻

Which bonds you mean?

any stock can create income . it’s just on you to pay yourself instead of the company doing it for you . so at the end of the day it’s only about total return and appreciation. if you wanted to take a shot with something simple , perhaps the small dogs of the dow are an interesting play . they are ...

🔝Considering a Dividend Strategy Alongside a Permanent Portfolio – Does It Make Sense?

Hi everyone, I’ve been studying the Permanent Portfolio approach and I understand its focus on stability and diversification across assets like stocks, bonds, gold, and cash. I’m curious about the potential role of a dividend-focused strategy in this context. Would it make sense to integrate dividen...

Me. See my bookshelf photo in my avatar. I see it as something to aspire to and measure against, but I realize it isn’t always practical. Similar to eating a perfect diet for example.

Re: Bitcoin in the VP

Which one you use ? Leveraging? USD trading currency choice. 3USL (trades in USD) instead of 3LUS (that trades in GBP) for instance. Rebalancing the FX element once/year rather than daily adjustments is inclined to be better IMO. Hello 👋🏻 Can you please help with your portfolio for European euro cu...

which other assets can should we add to VP ? frugal, there’s no asset that you should add. You add what you want. It’s money that you can afford to lose. Anything I buy that is not a pp asset, I consider part of the Vp. Individual stocks, silver coins. Hi 👋🏻 I don’t want to lose 🤭 PP performance in...

📈 Tracking the Permanent Portfolio Daily – Best Sites?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for websites or platforms where I can track the Permanent Portfolio on a daily basis.

Ideally, I’d like something that shows clear charts or graphs to visualize its performance and variations over time.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

:)
