As a non-frequent visitor to this Forum, I have no idea if anyone will see this post continuation. As the original thread was written 10 years ago, I thought you may wish to know how did I do with respect to precious metals. Well, I am very pleased that I have stuck to my guns. The idea of...

This is so cooool! I wish I had 1/2 the analytical capabilities you demonstrate here (and probably elsewhere too - I am not reading here on a regular basis, I am afraid) You are probably right in everything you say. I would like to point out the following: - I used 4 years because it was readily...

OK - so some update and further analysis... It's all to do with my idea of having 4 precious metals - not just Gold. The following is the table that shows the performance of those metals in the last 4 full calendar years:(2013-2016) (The figure nearest to the name is for 2016 and the furthest...

Sorry. It is free if you are registered, but here's the quote Role in Portfolio Palladium has historically demonstrated low- to negative- correlations with equity and fixed income securities, making it a potentially attractive portfolio diversifier. However, the palladium price has in the past...

Phew! All is well then :) I also came across some interesting reading - much shorter than yours, which exemplifies my point... http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/etf/snapshot/snapshot.aspx?id=0P00008UKV&tab=11 I am sure one can find such comments on almost anything - but hey - I was looking for that...

Many thanks for the detailed reply - and explaining your thoughts - that helped me a lot clarifying my own :) On a slightly philosophical path, I have explored in my mind the accepted wisdom of 'past performance is no indication to the future'. I realised that, as a rule for governing BEHAVIOUR...

That's true to a certain degree. While most markets will fall at the same time - they would NOT recover at the same time... For example, see this graph http://stockmarketalmanac.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/FTSE-100-v-SP-500%C2%A3-v-GOLD%C2%A3-1984-2013.png Also, as Dorin has shown, there is...

I appreciate that only 10% of Gold goes to industry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Consumption) and Platinum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum#Applications and certainly Silver - but from my perspective (fanatical balancing act) - do I care? Here is a small excerpt from Wikipedia that...

This is a very valid argument. There as so many choices out there - so how do we decide? Having the yardstick of market-cap weighted stock allocation is a very good rule, which has the big advantage of having some logic behind it, which Dorit explained very clearly. However, I do not think that...

Dear Dorin, Many thanks for taking teh time to reply - much appreciated.! I think I have identified at least one major difference between us - which is simply in the weight we give to various principles. For me, I am mostly concerned with finding investments that would protect the portfolio...

First - if that was not clear - I am happy to read in Hebrew - I just can't write it from here :) Thanks for the reply. I am still unclear about the principle, but perhaps it would help me if you were to explain what is 'PM' in your sentence: If the US economy drops to the ground than PM for...

Hello, First - I apologise for writing in English. I live abroad (UK) and I don't have the keyboard (nor the typing skills) to write in Hebrew. I am an avid reader of the Blog and while much of the specific investment discussion is rightly around Israeli capital market - the principals are...
