Palladium in my IRA? Thinking it's time to diversify even further, thoughts?

Hey, I get the drive for diversification, especially given your background. But 40% in precious metals already is pretty significant. Adding palladium might just be doubling down on a similar asset class rather than truly diversifying. Have you considered other things like real estate (REITs if you don't want the hassle), or even some dividend-paying stocks to balance out the metals exposure? Just a thought.

40% of your overall portfolio in gold and silver is pretty significant! Makes me curious, what's leading you to consider palladium specifically for further diversification? Are there certain economic indicators or market trends you're looking at?

Totally get where you're coming from. I was in a similar boat a few years back, had a good chunk in gold and silver, and started looking at platinum. Didn't go for palladium myself, but the thought process of "okay, what else can I add to really spread things out?" was exactly what I went through. Good luck!

Ngl I came here expecting the usual affiliate spam but the discussions are actually decent. Way better info than what I was getting from my old advisor.

This mirrors what I've been seeing too. The macro environment right now is making a strong case for physical metals.

Genuinely curious — has anyone here actually tried to liquidate from their gold IRA? How smooth was that process?

Been looking into this myself — the fees on some of these custodians are wild. Anyone found one that doesn't gouge you?

I keep going back and forth between gold and silver allocations. The gold-to-silver ratio right now is making silver look attractive.

I rolled over about $80k last year. Honestly the hardest part was just picking which metals to hold. Still second-guessing myself.

I was pretty skeptical about another gold IRA forum but the tools here on GIRAB actually surprised me — the calculator alone saved me hours of spreadsheet work.

My advisor told me 10-15% in gold is the sweet spot but I went heavier. We'll see how it plays out.

Just started my rollover process last month. The paperwork alone almost made me quit lol.

Interesting take. I've heard the opposite from a few people though — would love to see some actual numbers on this.
