I wanted to share both a summary and extension of the article that I assembled in R with rCharts and slidify. I embedded it below, but it will look much better if you follow this link http://timelyportfolio.github.io/rCharts_nardon_kiskiras/Industry_French_RebalPrem.html.
Nice post. Do you have experience with the permanent portfolio approach? If yes, what do you think? There rebalancing is trivial and clearly beneficial.
ReplyDeleteI have only quickly looked at the permanent portfolio. If I remember correctly, this might summarize my thoughts http://timelyportfolio.blogspot.com/2012/09/obviousness-of-reits.html. Thanks so much for reading. Let me know if I have this all wrong. I am always eager to learn.
