What Kind of Bonds do you aim?

I opted to keep it simple: global aggregate bond.

I'm starting to get used to the 14" display of the Pro versus the 15" display of the Air I had previously. The superior performance is definitely a boon, while the smaller footprint actually makes this guy more portable in certain respects than the Air.

No doubt that China is a rising power in the world, and may very well overtake the US as the top dog. One important thing to note of course is that geopolitical and economic dominance doesn't necessarily translate to superior investment returns. It may even translate to subpar performance. Even the ...

Hey Frugal. It's a very interesting coincidence that I have toyed with a similar idea in the past. I think it's a very sensible allocation. I like to think of it as putting 1/3rd of your risk capital into each of the main asset classes: stocks, bonds, monetary alternatives. And then rounding out the...

They're serving their best possible purpose as a monitor stand.

I don't think I have enough monitors, guys.

Just got a new 14" MacBook Pro today! M4 Max, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Damn sweet machine. Smithers, I'd appreciate your views on the similarities and differences with older MacBook Pro models. I'm still using a mid-2018 MBP - 2.6GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 with 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 and a 2 TB SSD. Seem...

Just got a new 14" MacBook Pro today! M4 Max, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Damn sweet machine. Did I disclose I bought a refurbished? Under $1,000. M3, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15". The last spec is most important to me since I'm used to many 27" monitors on this desktop. A great machine!

Yeah, and the M4 platform is from 2024, so the M5 is due out later this year!

Damn sweet machine.

Okay, I've determined that we've been under a distributed "Slow Loris" attack. Having deployed specific countermeasures to that, I should no longer need to be playing whack-a-mole with IP addresses. No idea why anybody would want to shut down this forum, though. My money is on a salty bog...

Has this been fact checked?

I'm skeptical that Palpatine would do something like that out of the goodness of his heart. I expect it's quid pro quo behind closed doors.

Black smoke again today. Will Ewan McGregor be the next Pope?

I personally find LTTs perfectly fine to hold when their losses are buried within the NAV of a total bond market fund. What was the phrase someone on this forum used? I think it was "comfortable opaqueness". Either way, I also think long TIPS still have their place as part of a liability m...

I hate looking at TLT in my Roth IRA, but I don’t mind looking at my LTT’s that I hold directly. It’s funny that a thread that’s supposed to be about people not coming to the forum, ostensibly because there aren’t enough conversations about the pp itself, has become a thread about the pp itself. PP...

Holy moly. That's all I have to say.

Found at my local bullion dealer. Coolest piece of precious metals I’ve ever seen.

Incredible work as usual, Tyler! You are truly a gem in the community!

And here I thought this post was about a literal bunker haha.

Yeah I noticed that too.

I wonder which components of the portfolio are responsible for the decline and in what proportion.

Even All Weather is getting hammered today. Though not as much as the equity markets of course.

ALLW fo' life.

How/why are there like 700 guest users suddenly?
