So, so good. Love it. I’m going to miss this show, but I’m also glad it’s not going on forever. Yeah.. How I Met Your Mother went on like 4 seasons longer than it should have. I understand the incentive to drag these things out (money), but it just sucks to see a good show/franchise die a slow deat...

These Starbucks triple shot espresso canned drinks are the bomb. If you need energy for all day coding sessions then this thing is the final boss of caffeinated bevvies. They're also about 1/3 the price of getting the equivalent drink from an actual Starbucks store. 6000204571529.jpg Where does 270...

My only objection is that thing is loaded with sugar. 30g in only 15oz. That's 7 1/4 teaspoons! Plenty of chemistry too. Pyroxidine hydrochloride? Treat yourself better. Wow, that is indeed a lot of sugar! Better to make some ginseng tea separately, Smithers. I made a healthier (and cheaper) choice...

I keep seeing YouTube ads for that stuff.

I suppose I should at least give it a try.

BUT HER HIS EMAILS.

For what its worth, my PP/GB inspired portfolio is split 6 ways in order to include international stocks as one of the equal parts to go with the GB I think some home country bias is justified, especially since the US is currently 60% of the equities market, but I'd like some direct exposure to the...

A. Where you live does not require some minimum mandatory insurance? B. Driving without insurance IS financially QUITE dangerous. I have extremely high liability limits but no coverage for my car except for comprehensive and I pay less than $325 a year. Yes, I misspoke. It's absolutely required! My...

I hope everyone is having a good start to their weekend. ^-^ Watching some comedy in Downtown Vancouver tonight. After to moving to my new residence I've started to play with the idea of cancelling the insurance on my car and not driving pretty much at all. I'm right next to a major train station an...

Have you guys listened to the John Carmack interview Lex did?

5 hours long but worthy of attention every minute!

As a vegetarian (when eating outside of home) and I am choosing pizza by the slice I'm happy for many, many choices as I'm first automatically excluding any that have meat on them. So I'm happy to have more than one choice of just cheese pizza.

Stuffed crust for the win!

It seems like quite an efficient portfolio, though 50% stocks is not for everyone. I get the sense that people on this board are generally more risk averse than the typical Boglehead with a concentrated 60/40 portfolio. This gets somewhat close. If I were American I would embrace TIPS. As a Canadia...

That makes it easier having only one value fund option. I became more discouraged as I reviewed value funds. They all have their own little way to try to market time. I decided I don't like the stress of picking the best fund. I sympathize with ochotona on RSP but would rather just use FZROX with 0...

> I became more discouraged as I reviewed value funds. They all have their own little way to try to market time. And can be front run, as they are forced to sell by rigid metrics. Paying Vanguard active managers to take a holistic look at a company, and decide if it's "value" isnt a crazy...

For those of you who watch/listen to the excellent Rational Reminder podcast, I made a request for them to do an episode on strategies like the PP and GB. Who knows, maybe Harry Browne will get his due.

The more and more I reflect on it, the more I'm inclined to say that the GB is the best "default" portfolio out there.

Yeah, I mean, I think we've all kind of known he's had issues before even running for president.

It's just that.. he's been president for so long now. I would have expected someone at a CNN desk by now to capitulate and be like "Yo, maybe we should, like, uhhhhhh.. say something?"

I just want to mention how amazing the hypocrisy of the left wing media is. Every time Trump would do something even slightly out of line with a perceived behavioural norm, the press was more than ready to pounce on it as newsworthy. This included completely innocuous things like typos in a tweet, o...

Which small cap value funds are you using Smith? I am having trouble staying the course with small cap value myself. As I have reviewed the different indexes and funds more and more I don't have the faith that they will outperform or lower risk. I am now contributing to larger stock allocation with...

Merriman is great. Small cap value is also great.

Uhhhhhh…

If it helps at all, Browne did give his blessings in Best Laid Plans to deviate from the neutral 4x25 percentages. In that case the idea was that if the investor had strong inclinations regarding a particular economic condition that he could tilt within certain bounds. The GB would have had Browne's...
