Re: Vinny VS email backdaters

Do email programs give you the choice of either newest or oldest first? I have traditionally used web mail and not programs. Those are constantly updating seemlessly but I sort for newest first where I can. Now that I spend a lot of time on mobile devices, I have apps for things like protonmail, an...

Re: Why the big move in gold?

from the WSJ: • A fall in real and nominal rates after an inflation report in-line with economists expectations; • A return of fears about the banking sector; • An influx of investor money into commodities, motivated in part by recently rising oil prices; and • Comments from Federal Reserve Gov.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

O0 We might as well also mention how Chinese automakers are eating Germany’s lunch with electric vehicles. (At the same time, there are stories about how Toyota is doing well because it never went fully electric, preferring to build hybrids. So, who knows how that’ll play out). I do remember the rum...

Re: New interview with Craig Rowland

Well, checking Portfolio Visualizer, {HBPP} lost ~1.11% - about on par with the performance of a plain vanilla 60:40. So while of course it's wrong to look at the returns of the PP's components in isolation, I think it's perfectly reasonable to point out that owning 30 year Treasuries when they're ...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Russia claims Germany is poised to attack. This is because they found a recording of German air force personnel discussing how Taurus missiles could be used in Ukraine. Germany has never given them any Taurus missiles however.

… I got the feeling that his nonchalant attitude towards the PP's often lackluster performance, not to mention the disastrous LTT rout in 2022, might in part be because of both having a large enough portfolio to where even just 4-5% annual returns are OK while making real money in his business. But...

Re: Should ESG Investing Be Criminalized?

Just want to recommend a book: ‘The Identity Trap’ by Jascha Mounk.
This is about wokeness and DEI and how we got here, not about ESG investing, but seems relevant here given the last few posts.
Very good book.

I’m not sure why it’s significant.

I remember him thinking out loud about the possibility of wavering on long bonds should they go lower. I asked him about it and he didn’t want to give a specific number lest anyone “blindly follow” the move. (I wasn’t going to, harumph). That was around the time that MediumTex referred to it as a ga...

I’m not exaggerating when I say that I haven’t seen a single other Asian person my entire time here. When the locals see me they often do a double take, as if I were a minor celebrity or something.

However, is it not in this forum that Craig stated that he was no longer a Permanent Portfolio participant?

I wonder if you’re thinking of PointedStick, a well-respected, intelligent and long-time member. He went all stocks.
I don’t recall Craigr ever changing course.
