In Part I, we saw what the Permanent Portfolio (PP) strategy is and how it helps you weather market crashes. In Part II, we saw how and where one should invest in order to implement this strategy.

In case you missed it (or forgot), we split the implementation into 3 steps:

1️⃣ Investing (covered in Part II)

2️⃣ Rebalancing

3️⃣ Exiting.

Today, we will be looking at rebalancing and exiting. Rebalancing is the cornerstone of not just the permanent portfolio but of any investment portfolio. You are not going to want to miss this.

I finally found an asset allocation strategy that works for me. It makes the right trade-offs and checks the right boxes. Low volatility — check. Not too time-consuming — check. Inflation beating returns — check.

In this 3-part series, I will lay it out in detail. Before we begin, lets address a few key points.

There is no one-size-fits-all strategy when it comes to personal finance because it is exactly that — personal. The below are the trade-offs…

What is originality? It’s when you get ideas that have not been thought of before.

Why is it important? Because novelty subverts expectations. It leads to the creation of something fresh, new, and well…original. Nothing like it has existed before; it’s a true contribution to the knowledge pool of humanity.

The problem, however, is that if you have thought of something, it is very likely that someone else has also thought of it. That is what makes originality hard. There are 8 billion¹ brains thinking and what are the chances that your brain has thought of something that other brains…

If you think about it, arguments are an indispensable aspect of human existence. They are the only way 2 parties can come to an agreement and they are the only way 2 people can begin to resolve conflicts. Be it a 90 year old who wants to be euthanized or a 10 year old who wants to watch TV at 1 O’clock in the night, arguments are the only conciliatory tool we humans have.

Imagine if there was no such thing called arguments. What a boringly monotonous world it would be. Everyone would have the same opinion, have the same…

Lets look at the 2nd part of the equation: HODLing. Where should one hold their crypto assets? Definitely not in exchanges. Unless you want to be like Bob here.

Recently, a disgruntled employee in our organization left a derisive comment on Yammer¹ about a password policy that was in place. He was frustrated as the policy added a truck load of friction to his work flow. He even went on to accuse the ‘policy makers’ of apathy.

What drove him to that point? There is a lot to unpack here.

Consider a B2C product; users have the option to jump ship in case they are annoyed with it. If they dislike Gmail, they can shift to Proton Mail. If they are incomfortable with Whatsapp, they can shift to Signal.

AllinPass FIDO is another security key from FEITIAN that we are going to be looking at in this article.

The AllinPass FIDO’s form factor is different from most keys (which resemble a USB stick).

The reason it has this form factor is because it has a battery enclosed. Why? Because in addition to USB and NFC, it supports Bluetooth.

Not many security keys provide support for Bluetooth today. It is, however, one of the communication protocols supported by CTAP 2.0 for interfacing with the client (for example, a browser).
