Rebalancing my Gold IRA after a decent run - looking for advice
- •Okay, so my Gold IRA holding has been doing pretty darn well lately, and I'm starting to wonder if it's time to rebalance.

Okay, so my Gold IRA holding has been doing pretty darn well lately, and I'm starting to wonder if it's time to rebalance. I've got a little under $30k in it right now, which for a 28-year-old just starting to get serious about retirement in Charleston feels like a solid foundation. I started this thing about 3 years ago with mostly physical gold, some silver, and a small chunk of platinum.
The gold has really taken off, obviously, and now it's making up a larger percentage of the portfolio than I initially intended. I'm feeling a mix of stoked that it's doing so well, but also a little nervous about having "too many eggs in one basket" if that makes sense, even if it's gold. My overall retirement strategy is to have a good mix – some traditional ETFs, some real estate (eventually!), and then this Gold IRA as my inflation hedge/crisis protection.
I'm torn between letting it ride a bit longer, especially with all the talk about inflation, or taking some profits and moving it into something else within the IRA, like more silver or maybe some platinum group metals that haven't seen quite the same run-up. Has anyone else rebalanced their Gold IRA after a period of strong performance? Did you regret it, or was it a smart move? Any thoughts on how you decide when enough is enough with a specific asset within a precious metals IRA?
Feeling a bit out of my depth on this one, so any personal experiences or wisdom would be super appreciated!
