More of the same. State of Emergency extended until Christmas 2021 in Victoria.
But children will get 1/2 price fines - that's positive

Well in Australia BLM vanished.
Think they were a Rent-a-Crowd group.

Of course you could always have the PP and have a bet each way

And here are the individual components of the US Goldsmith PP.

Wouldn't think the PP would have so little volatility after looking at Gold alone

Thanks Kevin, It was an interesting read. Reminded my a a Marc Faber talk I watched yesterday. He said the biggest mistake of his life was thinking that his opinion mattered, and said the most important thing was how you react to market changes, He also stated the it was not possible to accurately p...

As an aside, this is a chart of how the Aussie GoldSmith components have performed recently. Anyone else have info from their countries? https://www.asx.com.au/prices/charting/index.html?code=VDCO&compareCode=GOLD&chartType=COMMONBASE&priceMovingAverage1=&priceMovingAverage2=&volumeIndicator=SMA&vol...

The purpose of my physical gold VP is not to make any money; it is to avoid losing a lot if stocks, bonds and the USD tanks. I do think we are in for a serious reckoning in the next year or so. Silver, Bitcoin and Gamestop are something for 20 year olds to speculate on. I am retired and cannot affo...

Remember this?

Overall, this puts me 62.5% into gold - a highly defensive strategy. Is anyone else having the same thoughts?

I played when I was 17 and 18 years old with friends.

I was terrible.

So did we. But we were terrible in a different way.....
Used to aim for the kangaroos on the course instead of the hole

I have reformed now. Honestly.....

And this is the addendum for the Australian edition. Must say I was a little surprised to read this :o 1. Consider leaving the country 2. Your retirement fund will be taxed at a MUCH higher rate. Not sure how the recommendation to hold gold/wine/cryptos would obviate the taxation risk. Would still h...

Even the Mises Institute is discussing this

And the Government is racist because it does not grant the vote to my Collie dogs

So my question is whether it works as Cash, LT Bonds, or something else? The G fund consists of short term treasuries which is used as a substitute for cash. So your allocation is 25% Gold, 50% Shares, 20% Cash, 5% Bonds (EDV) Perhaps consider increasing your Bond allocation if you wish to implemen...
