Thanks for chiming in. I'm glad to have the opportunity to look up your Iron Wealth Portfolio website. I'd be curious to know which funds you'd use for a U.S.-based investor. In any case I like what you've done in applying the lessons learned from Harry Browne to an elegantly simple "all weath...

Interesting idea. I like the idea of defensive equity tilts.

I wonder how such a portfolio would perform if the sector specific allocations were replaced with low volatility fund that is sector agnostic?

From what I understand, this is pretty similar to Hedgefundie's excellent adventure over on the knuckleheads forums.

Every fund in the portfolio has 3x leverage on it, and the portfolio will follow standard rebalancing practices.

I will keep you guy's posted on my results!

Hey all. The latest episode of the Rational Reminder podcast featured James Choi, an econ professor at Yale. A particularly interesting part of the discussion was in the latter half where he mentioned leveraged ETFs and how they are more prudent of an investment vehicle than most believe. My general...

Did anyone else on the forum end up buying some ALLW and sticking with it thus far?

It must be like all women in the big cities now.

Pretty much. It's even gotten to the point where if you need some kind of contractor or manual labour done there's a huge backlog. Those tend to be jobs that men work, and most of them are gone now.

Apparently the Ukrainians are reclaiming territory and actually pushing the Russian forces back? It is interesting to see how under-equipped the Russian forces are. We are now in year 4? All for Ukraine! Definitely. I think I mentioned to you guys that my father in law is actually fighting in the w...

Why on earth would anyone bother to attack our forum? Strange.

Me, too.

Hey, those fractional coins seem to have a purpose now.

Hehe!

I voted for $50,000.

If there was a $100,000 option, I would have voted for that.

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. If you see an error, just refresh and try again. Sorry about the trouble. It might be possible to largely mitigate by (te...

Great site with lots of cool visuals

My cat's name shows up 417 times LOL

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. Yes, but you're our lunatic. ^__^

My brokerage now has a wealth rank function which shows how you compare to other people in your age category! Cool idea.

ALLW has returned over 20% since its inception last march - not even a year ago.

My target allocation is 5%.

I notice that as the price of his stock and bitcoin has gone down, he's become more unhinged in his interviews.

Interestingly, despite the incredible drop, the stock is still selling at a net asset value multiple of 1.19. It's hard to make the argument it's particularly undervalued.

Happened to see this on Drudge today: https://shumer.dev/something-big-is-happening I think it's worth reading. His point is that we're in the same spot we were in February of 2020 with Covid: that everything is about to change. I know you've heard that kind of thing before, but it's worth reading ...

But is he still alive?

I imagine when he does pass it will be a huge news story in the business/financial columns.

I thought the whole urine in jars thing was just a Vinny quirk. But Google Gemini confirms it's a great way to tend to your plants and garden.
