HELLO ls7550,1step,old no. 7
Thanks for the information
hello 1step
I usual check in on the week ends.
thanks for the info.
if I have prpfx what part of your pp is an overlap.
or how do I just add parts of his ivy fund to round out the prpfx.
I see you also are like me less experienced so maybe others can
answer if you can't
Thanks for thinking of my past posts.
Hi tom
I checked out fvl. It was down 50% at the bottom of the recent downturn. Its beta was 1 plus. It is too steep of a diver for me to sleep at night. Aimster on another board a while ago suggested value stocks to hook into prpfx what would combining MCD mcdonalds do to making prpfx more stable. That has a low beta and of recent doing relatively well. I appreciate your suggestion as wellas any
Hi Aimster and Toofuzzy
My goal in investing is to sleep at night have little downturn and make some progress. I converted everything into a one fund account. i'm not sorry it seems to do alright for now.
been watching the boards and posts for awhile. Right now one fund PRPFX portfolio is wwhat I use. I am going over in my mind of creating a second portfolio of a permanent portfolio type. I'm looking for a few funds or stocks to keep it simple. Where or how can I find such matches.Others on the Aim board have directed me to some sites.
You said PRPFX lacks any value stocks. How can i correct this. What stocks or funds would I use. How can I test to see if it will work. Again all this is just academic speculation. Any decisions i make is my own responsibility not others so don't be afraid to suggest.
I want to thank you and any others who led me to this passive philosophy. I remember staying awake at nights over the tech bubble rupture. I have 3 good kids two graduatted and one is finishing college.I paid for their college. I didn't have any money to invest in other a few thousand Iuse to dca in an ira.
Hi OLD NO. 7
Thank you.
I double posted by accident one was a rough draft . If any one has other information please feel free to suggest it or any other sites.
Hello old #7
AS an exercise only. what would one add to the mix to get another asset class e.g. stocks. How would one figure average yield and standard deviation. Any suggestions welcome.
Again no one is responsible for my financial actions but me. so don't be afraid to suggest. Are their web sited for figuring this. Would it be best to aim, ladder or stock trade rich it? Right now I buy and hold PRPFX
Thank you old # 7 your # 1

Hello
I have been lurking in the shadows watching the posts here.
I own PRPFX mutual fund. I am looking for a second set of assets to do a second set of permanent portfolio different from PRPFX. Any suggestions
will gratefully be accepted and appreciated
I got burned in the tech bubble in 2000 or so. I want to sleep at night.
If the market goes down my assets won't noswe dive like they did.
Hello toofuzzy and aimster
manager was there from 2003. It grew 10% a year. In 2009 it was down 8%
The manager now seems to do ok. You think it would be ok to add a value type fund to round it out.
Low risk mediocre growth Plus
Is there a site to check out correlation of different stocks and funds.
Hello toofuzzy
I appreciate the help
I began to put money into a cash reserve.
I found 2 permanent portfolios. One is a mutual fund prpfx the other is a investment style of different types of stock. did you mean that one. I also found an aim board from the uk it deals with permanent portfolios. I have schwab and t rowe price IRA's.What can I use from T.Rowe price or schwab to build a portfolio.
I'll let you know how I'm doing from time to time
Hello toofuzz
I think I will try Aim. It is a disciplined approach
How can I go from a dollar cost average style to an aim style and still add money in on a regular bases. What and how does one go from dca style to an aim style? Would I be better off with mr. puri
type like aiimster uses?
What steps do I take to go aim in my account?
what are the virtues of the different etfs suggested is one better than another
sorry i made a mistake
I appreciate the help.
What fund or security do you put the cash reserve in ,in an aim account? What have other aim users done?
Is the implication of a 50% cash reserve predict a correction will happen soon.
Hi one and all
you been of big help. I'm interested in aimsters plan of having mr. puri plan put into action. I don't know what question to ask but perhaps for asking about greater details. Do you use aim to make buy and sell decisions on various etf or just a percent rise. how do you deal with new money comning in
to your account what would I buy the lowest performer or a new etf?Any examples you offer will be helpfull.
To toofuzzy I started to put my weekly investment into a cash reserve to build up a reasonable reserve. Will I aim or synchrovest or twinvest or try aimster's plan I'm not sure. But any of them are better than no plan and gut feeling and listening to market news casters on tv.
to lost cowboy you have loads of information.Your board is very interesting.
I am dollar cost averaging for five years. I noticed that my weekly contributions don't have much of an effect on lowering my cost. I use balanced part stock part bond funds.I have enough to aim but my mutual funds aint volatile.I dont think synchrovest will help at this point.Not sure what to do. Is there a system for low volatile funds and stocks?
I did many things wrong In late 90's I was led to the slaughter investing in techs I used my 401-k to finance my kids education .now i'm re starting and have some retirement amount but not enough for any means of comfortable secure retirement.
I bought at borders book store the aim book. a month later I bought the synchrovestbook at amazon book. Is there any way the two can be unified.Is there software that does this. I was sent here from the aim board, I invest weekly in an IRA.
I bought the aim book 3 months ago and 2 months ago the synchrovest book. Is there a way that combines both as I now do systematic weeky investments. Where can I find software that does both.
