In progress is a wiki type system for potentially typing it all together. Dropbox Paper has been great for the wiki part.
HB's Permanent Portfolio consists of 25% each cash/gold/stocks/long term bonds
25% stocks (index fund) Stocks – for profit during periods of general prosperity and/or declining inflation.
25% Gold – for profit during periods of bad inflation; during inflationary episodes gold bullion provides protection against a falling currency and other potential problems.
25% Long Term Bonds (30 year) – for profit during periods of declining interest rates; and especially during a deflation. Bonds also do reasonably well during prosperity.
25% Cash – During a recession, no particular asset class is going to do well. The cash in a Treasury Money Market Fund offers stability when portfolio asset classes fall in price. It also protects purchasing power during a deflation.
You are saying people are not individuals with their own preferences?
Sure you can draw mental or geographical lines around people. And then try to apply laws to them.
But at the end of the day there are still people in those lines choosing to follow, or not follow the laws in various ways. And people treating people differently even while following those laws.
You might be able to coerce (by force) the world to give you what you want at the price that you want. But that doesnt mean it comes without a price. There is always a cost and many times, with governmental interference much of it is unintended consequences not immediately seen.
