Personally I think that money should be used to educate on how to invest.
Say, purchase BelangP's book, and if you can, split it 65/35 on TSM/Gold ETF as a training tool.

Given that that’s portfolio charts, I’d imagine it’s from the early 1970s to present. Touche! Couldn't fit title in with original screenshot :D Also from Portfolio Charts...

Patience, patience, my friend. There's no telling where the economy is heading in the next few months. We will only know the winners and losers in the future. I, personally, would not be comfortable being 100% invested in any one asset class at this point in time. The fed is going to (I think) righ...

Reminds me of the old "Industrial Egg" diagram

I can sympathize with a 50/50 stock and cash portfolio as a chicken little investor. I have contemplated that exact holding in the past. I did give up on long term treasuries when I realized yields we're not worth the risk. Maybe someday they will look worth it again. I also hate gold but history i...

Hi Mathjak,

A Gold/Share portfolio hasn't been too shabby when measured with the Safe WR either. Using BelangP's 35% Gold/65% shares we get...

Still like to have a read of this site occasionally. Especially the concise "Bond Duration as leverage" article.

What really gets me is this idea of using a line of credit to finance the down payment for the new property and then mortgaging the rest of the balance. Has anyone on the forum done such a thing? A "what if" scenario... If you cannot service the loan for some reason, what happens? In Aust...

Interesting chart

Do you have access to anyone with a scan tool to read the error codes? USA version of https://www.racv.com.au/on-the-road/roadside-assistance.html Once you get the code, you can make an informed decision. btw: find this channel quite interesting https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEKt2bUDBoRUw3wpPpDOUaA

Meanwhile in Australia....
