The Permanent Portfolio is an investment strategy developed by Harry Browne in the 1970s that advocates splitting your money equally across four assets – cash, gold, equities and bonds – and rebalancing back to that split whenever they diverge too much. Mainstream financial planners would probably balk at a 5% allocation to gold, let alone 25%, but how does such a strategy perform in reality and could you get your financial planner to consider it?

You might not be too excited if you bought $14 Silver or $1600 Gold.

You’re supposed to rebalance it. If you are rebalancing, you did neither.

could you get your financial planner to consider it?
WTF? If my financial planner doesn't do what I tell him, I get another financial planner that will, tout suite! He is there to advise me, not tell me what I will be doing with my money. I tell him, he doesn't tell me.

Oh...I didn’t know that “rebalance” meant “never buy at current prices”.....

You implied that one would purchase all of one’s metals at a peak. If you are rebalancing, that is untrue.

Wrong!
My point was that if you bought ANY between those prices and now, you’re not too inclined to buy more now.

Wrong!
If you are rebalancing, you don’t care about the price. You are missing the concept entirely.

“you don’t care about the price”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you’re the one selling to the suckers holding the bag, you don’t care.

I’m guessing you’ve never read any Bogle, or anything about investing that was longer than what could be printed on a matchbook.

You are an active trader, so it’s no wonder you don’t understand/agree with EMH.
