HemiBeers Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 They'll probably do, on a net basis, better on this tour than the CA tour. Every show is filled, less indulgent stage set, no high priced string players. Then Geddy had to blow it on a gazzilion new basses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every show is filled, less indulgent stage set, no high priced string players. Then Geddy had to blow it on a gazzilion new basses.We have gotten such an eyeful this tour. The bass collection has been a treat to see and hear. The whole double neck thing is still blowing my mind. Think about it. Who would have guessed that?

theredtamasrule Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 they do not tour for the money they tour for the desire end of the subject What about when Peart explicitly says that he is running out of money because he is not touring and making music with the band? He was withdrawing at a rate that was couldn't be sustained. As I mentioned in another thread: if you have a pile of money invested in 50% stocks and 50% bonds and withdraw more than 8% per year of that pile....you WILL run out in 10-12 years. If, on the other hand, you withdraw 4-5% of that pile each year (and increase each year by 3% to adjust for inflation) there's more than a 90% chance you'll never run out based on historical returns and millions of monte carlo simulations. It's not so much about "wise investments" but proper allocation and reasonable withdrawal rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Geddy already owned most of them long before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning, he tours, at least partially, for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
