Taylor at BH posted this excellent link and I thought it was worth bringing over here. Just another reminder to ignore the noise.

I'm pretty happy with my Golden Butterfly portfolio's performance this year.

Are you 100% invested in Golden Butterfly?

Me too with SCV up 26%. I'm glad I didn't jinx it for us. According to Curlew's law, the portfolio should have gone completely south as soon as I adopted it.

I sent this too fast and should have asked about your Rebalance bands. Also what do you hope to net extra after 5 years over a normal PP?

I dunno. I've long since given up this kind of crunchy quantification and performance chasing. I like the GB portfolio better because it matches my emotions and predictions for the future better. If it ever gets really out of whack, I'll rebalance. If it does better than the PP, that means I was right and there's been more prosperity than an even four-way split takes advantage of. If not, oh well, that's life.

Thanks! I think you are super on the forum and follow what you say closely. I going to be 80 next year. Wow! That said a better question would have been rather than 5 years What has the GB done over the past?

Ha! Beating the buy-in jinx is truly a rare feat.

Yeah, it's been a pretty good year for the GB. Doing so while also avoiding the "worst start to a year ever" is a nice touch.

Diversification is a beautiful thing, and anything built on a PP foundation is starting in a very good spot.
