Gold's been *wild* lately, anyone else adjusting their strategy for their rounds?

Okay, so I've been watching the gold spot price like a hawk lately, and honestly, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Being a farmer's wife out here in Kansas City, I'm all about tangible assets, and my Gold IRA is built on that principle – mostly rounds and a few specific coins I trust. My portfolio isn't huge, maybe in the high 70s range right now, but it's our nest egg for when we eventually slow down on the farm a bit.

I started really getting serious about pouring into physical gold about five years ago when the market felt… squishy, you know? And it's paid off, I think. But these recent swings, especially with the inflation news and then the little dips, have me thinking. I've always been a "buy and hold" person – stack it, forget it, let it do its thing over the long term. That’s why I liked rounds; less premium, more pure gold.

But part of me is wondering if I should be a little more active. Not day trading, absolutely not, but maybe taking advantage of these dips more aggressively. I had about $10k in dryer money I was going to put into another batch of rounds in the next month or two, but now I’m considering if I should pull the trigger sooner when there’s a downward blip, or if I should wait and see if it drops even further before committing. My husband thinks I'm overthinking it, just stick to the plan, but it's my money (and our future!) I'm thinking about.

Has anyone else with a similar portfolio size and a focus on physical gold rounds been rethinking their approach lately? Are you just holding steady, or are these fluctuations making you more strategic about your buying times? I'm curious what other folks are doing out there.
