Platinum IRA & The "Timing The Market" Headache - Anyone Else?

I've been kicking around the idea of adding some platinum to my Gold IRA for a while now, looking to diversify a bit more. I started my Gold IRA back in 2020 when everything was a bit wild, following some advice I picked up from the execs at the oil company I work for here in Tulsa. They've always been big on tangible assets, and watching them navigate various crises over the years definitely opened my eyes. Anyway, my current portfolio is sitting comfortably between $150k-$200k, mostly in gold and a smaller portion in silver, and it’s done me well.

My big hang-up right now is the whole "timing the market" debate when it comes to platinum. I hear all the time how it's a fool's errand, that you should just dollar-cost average and forget about it. But then I look at the charts, and I see these dips and spikes, and a little voice in my head (probably the same one that told me to buy gold during COVID) says, "What if you just waited a bit?" Platinum's been a bit volatile lately, and I'm trying to decide if I should jump in now, or hold off and risk missing a run, or conversely, buy at a peak.

It's such a psychological battle, going against the "set it and forget it" mantra that’s so popular, especially when we're talking about precious metals that aren't quite as mainstream as gold. I'm tempted to DCA, but part of me feels like I'd be leaving money on the table if I don't try to be at least a little strategic. What are your thoughts on trying to time moves into less conventional precious metals like platinum? Has anyone here successfully timed an entry into a Platinum IRA, or did you just bite the bullet and buy?

Also, side note: for anyone else thinking about rebalancing or adding to their precious metals IRA, I recently found this Tax Calculator that’s been super helpful for getting a rough idea of the tax implications. It’s not specific to platinum, but it gave a good overview for my gold/silver moves. Might be worth a look if you're like me and constantly second-guessing yourself on these big financial decisions. Appreciate any insights folks have!
