He's right. IDK why no one can understand nuance anymore. He punches it up but all he's been saying with a few short exceptions is that it's risky so adjust your allocation to ex US, tilt value, and some other assets consistent with your plan/risk perimeters. Kernen has been a clown since at least the 90s.

I mean people were just posting on about the problems and I´ḿ thinking yeah but we know we were all very very wrong, right?

VGK has posted a 17.33% CAGR over the life of this thread. VEA has done 21.04%. I like it even more risk adjusted because was cheap/obvious. You could really lay the wood to it. Has not required a bubble to get there. Just felt like someone should acknowledge it.

OH he's getting way in the weeds. Meeting individually with the GEICO tech people. I bought the decentralization/Roman empire stuff.

Curious as to your thesis; if you´ve posted elsewhere and could direct me I would appreciate it.

Listening to Jeremy Grantham Making of a Permabear. So far, so good.

Berkshire buying more CVX and Chubb. Buffett buying an insurance company gets my attention.

EFV up ~42% in 2025. I'll have to try and remember that the next time I'm told about the death of statistical value.

+49.36% 2025 YTD but man was it bumpy

Bought a bunch of pharma and biopharma names kind of a portfolio/industry bet.

First Citizens Bancshares of Silicon Valley

He should check out the best performing SPY stocks YTD. There are like 20 formerly el cheapo value stocks.

Oxy Warrants

LOL. I can't at all after reading the fund. It's fine that he's wrong all the time since they basically just asset allocation based on risk parity. Here's my macro call; US still expensive; still negative trend/time series momentum; same morons still in charge. Best case is its bad enough to make people refuse to vote for populists or TV reality personalities again for 60 years but not so bad we end up left of China politically.

LBRDA and AIV

Flipping my Wells (had grown to ~largest position in my "fun fund") at ~ 1.5+x TBV into FCNCA at ~1.0x TBV. Probably need to buy a ton of coffee from Costco as I do not want any of that American grown coffee.

Me too and I'm not even close. Had me scratching my head I move some $ in anyways.

Sold most US index exposures in my "value + trend strategeries" on 03/10 market close.

I haven't. I'm down about 30% on the position so I should probably think about it.

I wonder if he got the sweet sweet paper version. Jealous.

EAFE doubling up SPY YTD.

I like fido better than Schwab for what I do. I also have an IBKR account for margin and intl.

Why you benching half plates? j/k. I quit doing real bar bench b/c of old man shoulders. Just do dumbells, standing presses (have to go lighter of course), incline, and use the machines. I don't go above 315 on DL anymore either. I also only front squat (although I usually do hack squat machine).

Yeah I could see that.

Thank you!
