Gold Top
In the 1974 You Can Profit From A Monetary Crisis , the man who taught you not to trust prognosticators, predicted (gold was around $100): There's really no way to determine the upside potential of gold, but a conservative estimate would be $300-$500 per ounce within five years - and possibly even w...

Hi folks, We seem to be under a distributed denial of service attack. There is no one IP or IP range to block. I've tried to tweak things to allow the service to mostly operate.

Re: BTC in the PP
Looks like more evidence for the Hijacked thesis was released in the Epstein files. https://brownstone.org/articles/the-hijacking-of-bitcoin/ If I'm at a cocktail party and I say that Epstein is responsible for hijacking Bitcoin, I sound like an absolute lunatic. Well, thanks to you, we lunatics ha...

Re: BTC in the PP
Thus, a Bitcoin Standard, just like gold standard, would be actually a Bitcoin Certificate Standard, or a Claims on Bitcoin Standard (perhaps it didn't fit on the book's cover), but even more so. In practice, almost all bitcoin would be held in a few secure facilities that would be either controlle...

Apparently a few states have made attempts to fix this, but after initial enthusiasm, the bills stall out.
Mr. Guggenheim seemed rather untrustworthy in this proceeding.

Re: Greenland
Maybe you're right, Vinny. Also I thought one of the worst things about a potential Harris presidency was that she wanted to do price controls. Now suddenly Trump is not only for price controls (at least for credit card interest), but he's for government ownership of companies. Isn't that straight-...

Re: 💼 Cash Management in HB-PP: To Rebalance or Not? 🔄
Hey everyone! 👋 Following up on my previous post, I’m curious about a PP-style portfolio with a 33-33-33% allocation (equities 🟢 / bonds 🔵 / gold 🟠). I’m trying to understand: How would the overall risk change compared to a more traditional allocation? ⚖️ What kind of impact on performance/returns ...

I'm a thumbs down on this tweet. The problem w/ interventionist policy is you have to trust the interventionist. Who will watch the watchmen? It seems like there are lies behind most interventions and the military industrial complex is biased towards interventions. Certainly congress should be votin...

Re: Did I make a mistake by investing in GLD?
HODL only makes sense as an investing strategy for income producing assets. If you never sell non-income producing assets, you never make any money. the dividend doesn’t mean you made money . it means you made withdrawals of your own money . dividend payers have paid dividends out right in to the b...

Jumping in on this older post because I’m curious how others think about “chip-like” mental accounting today. Do you find it helps you stay balanced, or does it push you into taking risks you wouldn’t take otherwise? I’ve been thinking about how labeling buckets of money affects my choices, even wh...

Voting is a suggestion box for slaves and makes you complicit with whatever the government does. It's a humiliation ritual. If you vote you're saying this system of selecting leaders is valid and therefore the "will of the people" is valid and executed by the gov't. If no one voted the go...

Fama: A global market portfolio is kind of a risky venture because the problem is that countries go to war with one another. We thought we were past that, but now we’re finding out we aren’t. And wartime is subject to expropriation risks. So in other words, each side expropriates the investors of t...
