Full disclosure: I'm not an Intercst supporter. I'm not a Hucus supporter. I'm just a recently retired guy trying to figure out the best way to manage my assets. I'm also a guy who's not particularly impressed by posturing, fallacious arguments, and endless repetition of complaints. I'm generally in...

Norbert, thanks for a breath of fresh air. A little healthy skepticism is a good thing. Perhaps if we can't have an honest, non hostel, debate at dorey36 we can have it here. However, I have to admit to having some doubts. If you persist in bringing up dificult questions I suspect your time here is ...

I take it the Motely Fool community boards are only accessible to members - correct ? I can't access any of these references. Any way to get ? (besides a membership - I have too many memberships already...) You can get logins to many sites like this from bugmenot.com Where current subscribers are w...

I had a book once by Harry Browne that discussed the Permanent Portfolio concept in depth, and I presume (I don't remember) that that presented some data. I don't think that I still have the book. But there might be material available on the internet, or the Harry Browne book (I don't recall the ti...

We are obviously not going to be able to rely on the calculators to answer all of the questions that come up. That does not mean that we cannot aim to engage in meaningful analysis of all of the questions that come up. Some questions lend themselves well to analysis by calculator. On those, we will...

Hocus and Uncle Mick, thanks for the feedback. Hocus, good to know that I can hold TIPS at Vanguard, thanks. BTW, do you have a web site? I can't help but wonder why intercst would ever leave voluntarily. After all he gets some income from selling his report (intercst is Greaney, right?) and no doub...
