Hey, everyone. As some of you know, I have in-laws that are Ukrainian. Unfortunately, none of them are really into finance. Nonetheless, I got to thinking about how the PP would fared in protecting a Ukrainian investor from what is perhaps the most extreme real world conditions that one could experi...

Do you guys remember that one particular interview that Craig did about the PP where he mentioned his thoughts on Bitcoin? If I recall, that particular interview was on the shorter side. Perhaps 20 to 30 minutes long. He mentioned that he didn't like the idea of Bitcoin as a long-term store of valu...

Also, side note, I did manage to find another interview of his that I didn't know about:

I have run into the same conundrum. I personally don't like an explicit allocation to cash within my portfolio. Rather, I like my cash to be an entirely separate consideration. The way I've reconciled this with PP-esque strategies is to use a 50% total bond market fund in place of the cash + long-te...

The legend himself returns!

I was just re-listening to your interview on the Value Stock Geek podcast.

I hope you are doing well, my friend. As always, thanks for starting this forum and all of your community contributions throughout the years. I hope 2026 is great for you!

Maybe 2026 will be a year where all risk assets crash simultaneously?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say cash.

Another year has come and gone again! Here's how the All-Terrain Portfolio did.


I hope you guys had good financial fortune for 2025, and that it will continue in 2026!

Only a few minutes left in the last trading day of the year!

We had a brief day of positive temperatures yesterday. Looks like that's what was causing all of the slipperiness as the ice and snow melted and then promptly refroze. The whole town was an ice rink. I am working from home today. I'm glad I don't have to brave those roads. Fortunately, I did get a n...

I slipped on the icy stairs today leaving the house for work. >:( Stay safe out there, guys! Hope you’re okay. Those ice related gymnastics aren’t fun. Just some bumps and bruises, fortunately nothing serious. I feel like I might have to start putting down sand/salt on the stairs and walkway.

Stay safe out there, guys!

Were you planning on buying a platinum fund or the physical metal?

Merry xmas everyone!

She stayed up till 3am last night talking to family in Asia, and then proceeded to wake up at noon today. I think she'll be fine staying up tonight.

Merry xmas eve, everyone! I've decided to give gifts tonight after the stroke of midnight.

Only 14 hours to go until momma smith gets her new macbook air!

He's a big mathjak fan

About half for me

I LOVE Mike Maloney's Hidden Secrets of Money series. Yes, some of it is a little bit sophomoric, but it's still a great blend of information and entertainment. I also note that he was quite early to get onto the crypto-as-hard-money bandwagon. He must have done quite well for himself, assuming he'...

In Pluribus, the Joining has agreed to not harvest stem cells from Carol's body.

....but remember, in an earlier episode she remarked that she had her eggs frozen -- just in case she wanted babies in the future.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNN.
