Fear Trump, North Korea Or An Expensive Stock Market? This Fund Plays Defense: (PRPFX)

FYI: If you are an investor who seeks to protect assets during a time of international uncertainty and what might be the late stage of a bull-market cycle, the Permanent Portfolio’s asset allocation might appeal to you.

    A really lousy fund with a poor long term track record.

    I seem to remember that a few years back, this fund was one that a lot of posters on this site loved. Definitely one of those funds with a simple strategy that worked great -- until it didn't.

    I remember seeing an interview with the portfolio manager once. He was asked why he held GE in the stock portion of the portfolio...he looked blankly into the camera for a few minutes than blathered on about, well, nothing; revealing that he in fact knew, well, nothing.
