Anyone else still stacking hard on this inflation news?

Just saw the latest CPI print, and holy smokes, anyone else getting a serious case of déjà vu from a few years back? I've been in this game a long time, and the vibes are feeling... familiar. We’ve got inflation creeping back up, consumer spending looking a bit wonky, and a general sense of unease that I typically associate with people suddenly remembering gold exists beyond a jewelry store window. My personal stash of physical has been getting pretty substantial the past couple of years, but my allocation to Gold IRAs has also gone up significantly through every dip.
For me, it's not just about some abstract economic theory; it's about protecting the real capital I've built. I've got over $5 million across various investments, a good chunk of which is tied up in development projects here in Aspen. The last thing I want is for that hard-earned value to get silently eroded by policies that seem to be printing money faster than I can build. Gold has always been my go-to hedge against this kind of uncertainty, and honestly, the current climate is just reinforcing that for me.
I'm curious what everyone else's strategy is right now. Are you topping up your physical stacks? Rebalancing your portfolios towards more precious metals? Or are you taking a different approach? I’ve seen some folks around here talking about other hedges, but for me, the tangible, historical value of gold just hits different when things get squirrelly. Don't get me wrong, I still love a good deal on a piece of land, but right now, I'm thinking more about what's going to hold its value when everything else is fluctuating wildly. Thoughts?
