Anyone else seeing gold as the only real hedge right now?

Honestly contemplating increasing my Gold IRA allocation even further. The inflation numbers lately are just… unsettling. We're seeing across the board cost increases, supply chain kinks that aren't loosening up, and frankly, I don't trust the Fed to get this under control without a significant downturn, which would only make gold look even more attractive. I've always had a decent chunk in physical, but this feels different. Is anyone else eyeing bigger positions?

My personal conviction here has really firmed up over the last six months. I initially moved about $800k into a Gold IRA a couple of years ago, mostly for diversification and as a hedge against market volatility, which let's be real, is always a concern when you're managing funds like I do. But now, it's explicitly about capital preservation against the eroding power of the dollar. I'm sitting in Greenwich watching property taxes go up, the cost of goods at the market climb – it’s tangible even for someone like me who generally doesn't sweat day-to-day expenses. Feels like an unavoidable tax on everyone's wealth.

I’m thinking of deploying another $500k-$750k, potentially taking it to nearly 1.5M in my Gold IRA. It’s a substantial move for a personal account, and it would push my overall gold allocation north of 10% of my total portfolio. My wife thinks I’m being overly bearish, but I see it as prudent. Better safe than sorry when the currency starts feeling more like Monopoly money. What are your personal thresholds for gold allocation in this kind of environment? Are you guys finding the same sense of urgency?
