“The best kept secret in the investing world: Almost nothing turns out as expected.”
– Harry Browne
Craig Rowland 2012
I’m Craig Rowland, co-author of the book The Permanent Portfolio: Harry Browne’s Long-Term Investment Strategy. This blog focuses on investing (mainly using the Permanent Portfolio), finance, free market economics, outdoor gear reviews, traveling, and anything else I find interesting. I also run a YouTube Channel that you should check out.
I am a software entrepreneur and have made my career working for and running high-tech start-ups. The companies focused on computer and network security and I hold several patents in the area and have done other interesting research in the field. I have experience in executive management, venture capital fund raising, public speaking, marketing, sales, engineering management and development. I currently am working on new development projects to be announced in the future.
On this blog when I have nothing to say I won’t post anything. That’s why you don’t see daily posts or even monthly posts. I think most investors would do a lot better not reading financial news daily. So, take my lack of posting as a nod to my own outlook on portfolio management that less is more.
“The best kept secret in the investing world: Almost nothing turns out as expected.”
I’ve seen a lot of crazy things happen in start-ups and, indeed, nothing ever turns out as expected. This blog focuses on the Permanent Portfolio because I believe it is simply the best way to widely and strongly diversify against the unexpected with your life savings. Thanks for visiting and please contact me if you have any questions.
