Gyroscopic Investing

Speaking of Canada vs. U.S -- we're definitely not shooting back here in the north. Concealed every day carry is illegal here.

I do have that swiss army knife, but we all know about bringing a knife to a gun fight.

With a premise permit here in nyc if you carry and get caught it is just a misdemeanor.....your firearm is registered and your permit is out of class ....so lots of holders likely do carry ...it is always better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6 .

Premise permits are easy to get if you are squeaky clean here in nyc

When we had the old target hunting permit it was just a mis use of permit if you carried ...so they went to a premise permit instead hoping less would carry since it did have some penalties attached if caught

I like the maplegrams, but they're just for fun. The spreads are awful as you know. I'll be going for a few full on coins this time around!

So, be sure to report on your experience, whether you get local random-year Leafs or 2020 Austrian phils or whatnot.

Not to celebrate — gold rarely goes up for happy reasons — but it’s over 1600/oz.

Holy sh#t!!

This brings to mind a thought I had recently about the PP's asset classes. Rather than the traditional classification, the following might be more generally accurate:

Stocks - prosperity
Gold - disaster
Bonds - deflation
Cash - inflation

Cash actually keeps up with general inflation pretty well (Tyler makes a strong argument in the link below), and the Iran event causing the gold spike speaks volumes about real and perceived disasters.

Gold is inflation protection when it spirals out of control and becomes/threatens in itself to become a disaster.

The investing world seems to be way more resilient than it used to be. Markets just absorb all these crazy happenings in stride.
If gold isn’t back down another $20 tomorrow, then I guess something’s really up.

"I think you have to have a certain amount of gold in your portfolio."

Interesting interview of Ray Dalio.

I get the sense Dalio's team sees the mountain of debt being built up being dealt with via inflating it away as a form of payback.
