Fed rates got me thinking about my platinum allocation

• •Looks like the Fed's holding steady with the rates, which I figured would happen, but it always makes me second-guess things a bit.
• •I've been pretty comfortable with my platinum IRA exposure, especially given how inflation has been jumping around like a yearling at the Derby.
• •My portfolio's sitting around the $180k mark right now, and about 15% of that is in platinum through my IRA.

Looks like the Fed's holding steady with the rates, which I figured would happen, but it always makes me second-guess things a bit. I've been pretty comfortable with my platinum IRA exposure, especially given how inflation has been jumping around like a yearling at the Derby. My portfolio's sitting around the $180k mark right now, and about 15% of that is in platinum through my IRA. I've held onto it for almost four years now, primarily for diversification and as a hedge against the kind of stuff we've been seeing with the dollar.

My strategy has always been pretty straightforward: protect my assets and provide a solid foundation for when I eventually slow down from the farm. Running a horse farm just outside Louisville, you learn to be practical about wealth – it's not always about making a killing, but about preserving what you've got and ensuring stability. I initially got into platinum because it seemed like a good way to diversify away from just holding gold and silver, offering a bit more upside potential without getting too speculative. It's been a bit of a mixed bag performance-wise, but I haven't lost any sleep over it.

With these sustained rates, though, I'm wondering if I should be re-evaluating that 15% platinum figure. Part of me thinks it's a good anchor against any future market jitters, especially with all the global uncertainty. Another part wonders if I should trim it back slightly and put some more into income-generating assets, even if it's just for a year or two. I’m not really looking to make any drastic moves, but a little fine-tuning is always on my mind.

I’ve been messing around with the Retirement Planner tool I found recently, trying to project out different scenarios with various asset allocations, including how my precious metals might perform. It’s given me some good food for thought. Does anyone else feel this way about their platinum or other precious metals holdings right now? Are you guys making any adjustments to your allocations based on the Fed's recent announcements, or are you just sticking to your long-term plan?
