Hey everyone, just read this interesting article: Is Now the Right Time to Sell Gold in Australia? (2026 Price Trends). It's talking about how gold in Australia has hit some crazy highs recently, around A$7,325/oz by early 2026. That's a massive jump, about 64% in just 2025!

My initial reaction is, wow, that's a huge surge. I've had a small allocation to gold in my portfolio for a while now, mostly as an inflation hedge and a bit of a safe haven. Honestly, I didn't expect this kind of return so quickly. I know a few years back, my dad was trying to convince me to go heavier into gold, saying "it's always going to be there," but I always preferred to diversify across different asset classes for my retirement fund. This article makes me wonder if I should be thinking about taking some profits off the table. That 64% jump in a single year is tempting, especially since my kids are getting closer to college age, and every penny counts.

What are your thoughts on this? Are any of you Australian investors thinking about cashing in on these gains? Or do you see further upside for gold given the current economic climate? I'm always keen to hear different perspectives, especially from those with more experience in the Aussie market. Let me know what you guys think!
