If the PP “breaks” then diversification no longer works. An equity investor may hold all stocks. A fixed income investor may hold all bonds. A precious metals investor may hold all gold. A risk averse investor may hold all cash. The PP captures a portion of the return each investor earns without hav...

I love stock, I've been investing in quite a bit recently. One day I hope to be a bouillonaire.

Interestingly SPY is holding up well given the pull-back in AAPL and TSLA. Is there a rotation in the works?

None of the assets have a theoretical ceiling so expensive is subjective. I recall thinking SPY at 190 was expensive and today it closed at 347. Same applies to Gold at 1150 and TLT at 100. Today’s high is tomorrow’s low

There was basically no point to getting out of the market before the crash. (I didn’t). Amazing recovery. I’ve been trimming my vp, though. Seems logical to trim some gains on shares purchased during the decline (no tax implications). I convinced myself to at least rebalance to the more aggressive ...

I think it’s tracking error with respect to “the market”. I should have just put it in the SP500 like everyone else instead of this weird PP concept. I’m under-performing my peers... Tracking error can also mean your S&P500 ETF is supposed to match the S&P500 after expenses but it under-performs or ...

Around the edges, makes me feel like a useful engine.

I held down F5 but the USD value kept going down. Maybe I should switch to View > Refresh tomorrow and see if that helps.

Sorry guys, had to dial back and sold some at IAU 19.68. Restoring AA to 40/15/15/30. What order is that in? I also captured some profits today by rebalancing out of gold. I'm as excited as anyone to see the gold price go up, but I'm still staying disciplined with maintaining a balanced portfolio. ...
