I'm underweight stock. But the AI bubble might not be, if it fuels a drone-swarm war. And/or there's timing the bailout, we only had about a month in 2020 to buy the dip. My top concern remains the Fed walking away from long bonds and funding government with only short duration forever. But I think ...

All comics evolve into Carlin with political clapter rants. Or Leno with the same set for 30 years and scrubbing the vids from social media.

Surprised zerohedge links arent blocked on bogleheads. But 100% chance someone will comment its a conspiracy site. 70s was a proxy war with China too. edit1: "You can speculate on the prices of gold and bitcoin, but they are neither equity nor fixed income assets and should not be considered a ...

Are all four classes equally volatile. If you have 100 year duration bonds should that be 25%

Not anytime soon, wealth exodus from China may accelerate

Scams are up in LA county (I have another fun story like the car dealer). And AI is faking profiles and reviews. Meanwhile PHYS trades in a narrow range, unlike EDV. If you get enraged by overpaying a little like I do

Whats to stop them from saying you mailed yellow tungsten. And for that matter why wouldnt you

Keen, Mosler and the MMT crew made names for themselves calling economists dumb but the Krugman types just dont want people knowing money can be printed.

So, what would cause the Fed to bring the pain like Volker? Country isn't run by Men anymore.

Expected, sell the news, was able to buy the mini dip after the announcement Re-allocated from a few years ago, went from 0 to 25% gold, 25% VTSMX, 50% long treasury. Large emergency fund. If they decide to run the deficits with short issues only I'm toast. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A091RC1...

So this a problem dealing with a lot of coins right? Every sale is a negotiation? In contrast ETFs just the expense ratio

Buy the rumor sell the news. Long rates will rise until (if!) the Fed steps in.
