What are your thoughts on the Four Season Gold Hawk vs the Golden Butterfly?
The numbers are certainly impressive, and I can see why you like it. That said, I might suggest flipping the country to the new Japan setting to temper expectations a little. That advice applies to all portfolios, BTW.
Contrary to what people might think from only skimming this very long thread about the Golden Butterfly, it is definitely
not my goal to advocate for a single way to invest suitable for all people. Everyone is different, and I just want to help them understand the many different portfolio options out there and supply good data so that they can make an informed choice. The
Golden Butterfly is one suggestion of my own creation, the
Pinwheel Portfolio is another, and I have an open mind to all kinds of ideas for building an effective and sustainable asset allocation. I'll also point out that my
tools have changed a lot in the three years since this thread first started, including at least one designed specifically based on
feedback from this discussion. So please take the time to visit
Portfolio Charts if you haven't in a while, even if it's just to check in on your own portfolio and remind yourself why you're very happy with your choice. :)
As an aside, I'm totally bookmarking the Golden Dragon Portfolio for future inclusion on the site. My biggest regret is that I didn't learn about Dragoncar's masterpiece before April 1st.
