[@TBgy-eq5ts]

Not enough coins in the meter. Or geomagnetic storms

[@Jechum]

Is it just me or did this drop off suddenly?

[@cathya222]

yes

[@Jeff-Dr]

Yep

[@colindouglas9012]

Yes

[@alan30189]

There appears to be a part 2.

[@sixstringsdaddy2477]

Rob it would have been good to find a fund similar to JPIE with a longer history and compare how it did against BND over a longer time

[@erickarnell]

Part 2 is posted

[@tollermaus]

[@tollermaus]

[@gieb6428]

@@alan30189 Yes but, non sequitur.

[@testit1902]

Feels like you were a bit more of the 10 to 20 percent international equities
