Gold IRA for inflation - worked for me, but what now?

Been seeing a lot of chatter lately about inflation and how folks are trying to protect their portfolios. I’m a big believer in gold being a solid hedge, especially with how things have been going. My family has always been pretty conservative with our investments – coming from the timber industry in Spokane, we’ve seen enough market ups and downs to know the value of something tangible. I’ve got about $350k in my Gold IRA right now, which I’ve been building over the last few years, a good portion of it inherited and then strategically moved. It really felt like a no-brainer with the whispers about inflation getting louder, and honestly, seeing the value hold steady while other things are getting squeezed has been a huge relief.

I remember having huge debates with my uncle a few years back about moving a chunk of our inheritance into physical gold through a SDIRA. He was all about keeping it in "safe" blue-chip stocks, but I just had this gut feeling. And thankfully, it paid off. My grandfather always said, "They can't print more land or more gold," and that's always stuck with me. It’s given me a lot of peace of mind knowing that portion of my wealth is insulated from the crazy swings and devaluations we're seeing in traditional markets. It’s not about getting rich quick; it’s about preserving what we have for the next generation, which is a big deal for us.

My main question now is, with inflation still a major concern, are any of you adjusting your allocations? I'm debating whether to increase my gold holdings slightly more or maybe diversify into some silver. I’ve been looking at tools like Silver vs Stocks to compare performance over the last 10 years, and it's definitely food for thought. It shows a pretty compelling case for silver as well, especially compared to the broader stock market. My current custodian has been great, but I'm always open to hearing if anyone has found new strategies or providers that are particularly good for navigating this inflationary environment. What are your thoughts on silver as a supplemental inflation hedge at this point?

Are you guys shifting your precious metals allocations at all given the current economic climate? Or is it more about just holding steady and letting the gold do its thing? Super interested to hear what strategies others are employing to keep their wealth protected.
