Desert Portfolio

Portfolio Talk

Today I added charts for the Desert Portfolio, a lazy portfolio option suggested by Desert on the forum at gyroscopicinvesting.com.  You can find more discussion about it here.

You may note that his portfolio includes 10-year treasuries, which are not yet an option in the calculators.  Adding new data sets in the public tools is on the roadmap but takes time.  As an interim, a reasonable suggested alternative for modeling 10-year treasuries is to use half Tbills and half Long-term bonds.  It’s not an exact replacement, but it’s close.

Try it for yourself to see how the charts differ from the ones in the Desert Portfolio summary!
