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

Re: Forum availability

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.

Re: Not yet coming here? [to the Forum]

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...

Re: Not yet coming here? [to the Forum]

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...

Re: Bridgewater All Weather ETF

Equity markets have been declining but All Weather is up. Must be the bonds and gold. TLT is up, but not by a whole lot. Gold seems to be down. How is All Weather up? It might have something to do with the leverage. Not sure. Bridgewater shares how All Weather works in the abstract, but it's still ...

Re: Bridgewater All Weather ETF

Now at over $70 million AUM since launch a couple weeks ago. Definitely a healthy trend. As great as a robust AUM is, there's also a case to be made for funds getting too large. If that happens then they may no longer be able to make their desired trades without moving the market or tipping their ha...
