Gyroscopic Investing

Hi guys,

I knew I should not have a look on how my investments are doing.
I think all the PP, GB-ish, good_bad_ugly-weather and alike portfolios are getting smashed ... Some short bonds or money markets really sound to me as getting back a small piece of money taken away by the inflation. Do you know of some recent calming article (lullaby for financial ignorant like me) ?

That’s a good question. Does it have to be a recent article or can it be timeless? :-)
I’ll look for both this afternoon.

The only things crushed are long bonds?

And we're only able to have have this conversation because civilization was saved by the vaccine. Thats nice isnt it?

Well.... consider you went off and purchased Vanguards most conservative Life Strategy Fund instead

Indeed. Even with a good start date sensitivity, having started HB/PP/GB passive investing at the end of 2019 is kind of painful experience - what you get is what you lose. (I hope) I know the theory behind what I've done, but still I wish I had started 10 years back ha-ha. Ok, ok, I know the "the stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient" mantra too ..

Hal, dog I'd really love to have, but given that my family expects kind of shared responsibility => no responsibility => dad's responsibility, I still do not take that step. My mom has many cats (too many for my taste actually) and is taking very good care of them, so I do my pet_stress_reduction_sessions playing with them...
