Gold's recent bounce - anyone else feeling good about their stack?

• •I mean, my tech stocks were getting absolutely crushed, but the shine on the gold in my reports just… felt right, you know?
• •I started really accumulating in 2019, right before all the crazy.
• •I've got roughly $750k in my total portfolio, and about 15% to 20% of that is allocated to physical gold – held securely in a Gold IRA.

Okay, so I've been watching gold like a hawk these past few weeks, and honestly, seeing it push up again has me feeling pretty good about my decision to hold a significant portion in physical metal within my Gold IRA. I remember back in 2022 when it felt like everything was getting hammered, and even though my overall portfolio (split pretty evenly between stocks, real estate, and precious metals) took a hit, the gold part felt like this steady, unwavering anchor in the storm. I mean, my tech stocks were getting absolutely crushed, but the shine on the gold in my reports just… felt right, you know?

I started really accumulating in 2019, right before all the crazy. As a doctor here in Boston, I see a lot of economic uncertainty, and with all the quantitative easing and government spending, it just made sense to diversify away from purely fiat-dependent assets. I've got roughly $750k in my total portfolio, and about 15% to 20% of that is allocated to physical gold – held securely in a Gold IRA. Initially, I thought about just buying some ETFs, but after doing my research, the idea of owning actual physical metal, even if I'm not holding it myself, was much more appealing for that true diversification and downside protection.

This recent move up has me wondering if we're finally seeing a stronger trend emerge, or if it's just another blip before more volatility. What are others' thoughts on the sustainability of this current upward trajectory? Are you guys holding steady, or are these price movements making anyone consider rebalancing their Gold IRA allocations at all? I'm personally planning to hold my current allocation, probably for the next 5-10 years, unless something drastically changes in the global economic landscape.
