Fed policy got me thinking about my Gold IRA - anyone else?

Been watching the Fed moves this week, and honestly, it’s got me a little antsy about my gold position. I rolled over a substantial chunk of my inheritance into a Gold IRA a few years back – we're talking north of $300k. My grandfather always drilled it into me: "When paper money looks shaky, find something real." Given how things are going, it feels like his advice is more relevant than ever.
The whole quantitative easing/tightening dance the Fed does… it just makes me question the long-term stability of traditional markets. Part of me thinks they're just kicking the can down the road, and eventually, the real inflation monster is going to show its face. And that's exactly why I diversified into physical gold. I'm based in Spokane, and with timber as our generational business, tangible assets are just in our blood, you know? It's not about making a quick buck for me; it's about preserving wealth for my kids and hopefully, their kids.
So, for those of you who also have Gold IRAs or similar allocations, how are you feeling about your position with the current Fed outlook? Are you thinking of rebalancing? Or are you just holding steady like me, seeing gold as more of a long-term inflation hedge rather than something to trade actively based on every interest rate hike or cut? Just curious to hear other perspectives on this - it's a lot of capital and I want to make sure I'm thinking about all the angles.
