Looks like gold’s taking a breather after that insane run-up. Honestly, I'm watching this with a mix of excitement and a little bit of tactical planning. My gold allocation within the IRA has been a beast this year, easily outpacing just about everything else. I'm sitting on a good chunk of physical, mostly Eagles and Maple Leafs, plus some solid exposure through mining stocks that have been doing well, like Agnico Eagle and Barrick. I've always viewed gold as my ultimate hedge, especially with how wonky the global economyfeels right now.
My total portfolio is north of $5 million, and a significant chunk of that, probably around 15%, is in physical gold and gold-related equities. Bought my first ounce back in '09 when I was just starting out with my real estate development company here in Aspen, and I've been DCAing into it ever since, especially during periods of geopolitical instability. I consider it my true "wealth preservation" asset, a kind of bedrock when everything else feels like it's built on sand.
I'm not looking to dump anything, but the recent climb has me wondering about rebalancing. I've got some new development projects kicking off next year, particularly a luxury condo complex downtown, and I might want to free up some capital for that. Is anyone else considering taking some profits off the table and perhaps diversifying a bit into other hard assets, or are we all just holding on for dear life and expecting gold to rocket even higher?
Curious to hear what strategies others are employing with gold right now. Are we seeing a temporary lull before another leg up, or is this the market telling us to be a bit more cautious? I'm always open to new perspectives!
