$META (-2.61%)
$FTNT (+1.31%)
$ANET (+1.48%)

There is still a long way to go with this strategy.

30% GTAA
30% 3xGTAA
30% 2xSpytips
10% cash
= approx. 2,3%pM
= 7080€pM gross
= 5200€pM net
= Financial freedom today.

But I'll probably always be the Don Quixote of investment strategies. 🤷

@Epi oder 100% S&P500

@Ph1l1pp That's probably not going to happen with FF in the next 10 years.
If you look at the past 60 years, the next 10 years will be more like 1%pa return minus approx. 30% USD devaluation. 🤷

@Epi Do you practise this yourself?

@Solitair Almost. I still have gold and a trading portfolio. Since starting two years ago, however, I have achieved pretty much exactly 2%pM (always somewhere between -1.5% and +10%). But the proposed allocation would have been even better.

@Epi

1) 2.3% pM corresponds to about 31% pa, which is far from reality in the long term, plus the volatility drag/ TER/ tax disadvantages/ rebalancing costs (I would be happy to provide figures)

2) How do you arrive at 1% pa, especially taking into account the last 60 years? The S&P has made just under 11% pa in the last 60 years

3) Topic USD devaluation: EURUSD has been in a 30% range for 10 years and behaves in cycles, in my opinion only plays a subordinate role in the long term

@Ph1l1pp 1) Why is 31%pa far from reality? Far from what reality? Simons has been doing 60%pa since the mid-80s.
The performance is calculated very conservatively from the backtests, you are welcome to deduct 20% tax (GTAA runs in my tax-free pRV shell, 3xGTAA in the tax-free Wikifolio, 2xSpytips has partial exemption), then 1.85%pM = 5700€pM - that's enough.

2) The valuations also run in cycles. ShillerKGV of the S&P500 is at its maximum. Every time in the past 10 years there was hardly any return, only a lot of vola.

3) USD cycle hardly plays a role in the long term, correct. But here the FF is supposed to start in 15 years or earlier. So the cycle is definitely relevant. 🤷

@Epi what will you do if the USD appreciates and gold falls?

Ph1l1pp@Ph1l1pp

@Epi I would be interested in the backtests, especially how far back they go and what they look like taking into account all the costs listed.

If I can find the time, I would also be happy to write a script and do this myself
