Anyone else eyeing more gold with these inflation numbers?

• •Okay, so the latest inflation reports have me seriously antsy.
• •I've got a decent chunk, about 10% of my ~750k portfolio, in a Gold IRA already.
• •Started it a couple of years back when things were looking a little wobbly, mostly as a hedge.

Okay, so the latest inflation reports have me seriously antsy. I've been watching my portfolio pretty closely, especially with all the market swings lately, and honestly, the thought of holding too much cash feels like a losing game right now. I've got a decent chunk, about 10% of my ~750k portfolio, in a Gold IRA already. Started it a couple of years back when things were looking a little wobbly, mostly as a hedge.

My reasoning was pretty simple: gold's a tangible asset, historically holds its value when the dollar starts to wobble, and it's completely outside the stock market's direct influence. As a tech entrepreneur, I'm used to higher risk, higher reward plays, but for my retirement savings, I'm really prioritizing capital preservation for this slice. Living in Austin, I see housing costs and everything else just exploding, and it makes me wonder if I should be increasing my gold allocation even more. Maybe another 5%? What’s everyone else thinking?

I know some folks are all about crypto as a hedge, but that high volatility doesn't quite sit right with me for this specific purpose. For me, the stability of physical gold just feels right when I'm trying to protect against inflation. Have any of you made significant changes to your gold holdings recently because of inflation fears? Or am I being overly cautious here?
