From: jritz0	1 Recommendation Recommended By Chairo Kiisu Ichiro of 25821

RE: 25% in U.S. stocks, to provide a strong return during times of prosperity. For this portion of the portfolio, Browne recommends a basic S&P 500 index fund such as VFINX (closed to new investors since publication, replaced by VFIAX, which is also Vanguard 500 Index fund) or FSMKX (Fidelity Spartan 500 Index). 25% in long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, which do well during prosperity and during deflation (but which do poorly during other economic cycles). 25% in cash in order to hedge against periods of “tight money” or recession. In this case, “cash” means U.S. Treasury bills. 25% in precious metals (gold) in order to provide protection during periods of inflation. Browne recommends gold bullion coins. According to Browne such a permanent portfolio should be safe, simple and stable. I used to own the mutual fund based on the permanent portfolio, PRPFX Not a bad way to add some diversification, Someone could recreate it with some ETFs..
