Video Overview
This video continues a viewer's questions about pledged-asset borrowing and portfolio simulations. The viewer withdraws US$4,000 each month for living expenses and enters a 7% borrowing rate plus US$180,000 of existing borrowing into a worksheet, then compares the minimum adequacy ratio, minimum net assets, and ending net assets for 424, 415, and 505 allocations. Using the viewer's reported stock assets of about US$1.1 million, the speaker says US$150,000 borrowed in advance for taxes already exceeds the speaker's stated 10% principle. Adding US$48,000 of annual living-expense withdrawals also exceeds the stated 2% annual limit. The response then explains why 505 benefited from rebalancing in a simulation that assumed ten years of decline followed by recovery, while a sustained bull market could favor a more aggressive allocation. All limits, ratios, and scenarios are case-specific calculations and the speaker's views, not recommendations from this site.
Key Takeaways
- For 424, the viewer enters a 7% borrowing rate and US$180,000 already borrowed, producing a 136% minimum adequacy ratio, 24% minimum net assets, and 317% ending net assets in the worksheet.
- Based on about US$1.1 million in reported stock assets, the speaker says US$150,000 for prepaid taxes plus monthly withdrawals of US$4,000 exceeds the borrowing limits described in the response.
- In the viewer's runs, 415 and 505 show higher minimum adequacy ratios and ending net assets than 424; the speaker accepts the calculation and points to lower initial leverage plus rebalancing.
- The speaker says 505's result depends on a modeled path of ten declining years followed by recovery; ten to twenty years of a continuing bull market could produce a different ranking.
Chapters
About 00:00:10 · Monthly withdrawals and the borrowing rule
The viewer asks whether borrowing US$4,000 each month for living expenses violates the annual borrowing principle.
About 00:01:11 · Comparing three allocation simulations
The letter enters the rate and existing borrowing, then compares adequacy and net-asset results for 424, 415, and 505.
About 00:02:44 · Reviewing cumulative borrowing
Using the reported US$1.1 million stock portfolio, the speaker adds tax and living-expense borrowing and says the total exceeds the stated limits.
About 00:03:37 · How the modeled market path changes results
The speaker accepts the simulation and contrasts the effects of a decline-then-recovery path with a sustained bull market on conservative and aggressive allocations.
