Rethinking my Palladium holdings for the long haul - Raleigh investors, thoughts?

I've been looking at my Gold IRA statements lately and thinking about the palladium portion. My husband, bless his heart, was always the one who really stayed on top of these things. He passed five years ago, and I'm doing my best to honor his legacy by being smart with the investments he worked so hard to build for us. Our total IRA is sitting around the high end of $80k right now, and about 10% of that is in palladium. He always said it was a good diversification play, and I trusted him implicitly.

Lately, though, with the fluctuations, I'm wondering if it still makes as much sense. I know palladium had that huge run-up, and honestly, we benefited from it, which was a huge relief and really helped me feel a bit more secure after losing him. But the last year or so, it's been pretty volatile. I'm based here in Raleigh, and honestly, the thought of trying to keep up with all the industrial demand drivers and supply chain issues for something like palladium just feels a bit overwhelming at times.

My main goal is truly capital preservation and a bit of steady growth to make sure I'm comfortable in retirement, and that I can keep contributing to the local charities he cared so much about. Is anyone else here finding themselves re-evaluating their palladium holdings in their precious metals IRA? Have you made any moves recently, or are you just holding steady? Part of me thinks I should just trust the initial plan he set up, but another part wants to be more proactive.

Would it be wise to potentially trim some of the palladium and reallocate into more gold or even silver, which seem a bit more straightforward to understand? Or am I overthinking this and should just stick with the diversification he so carefully planned? Any insights from folks who've been in this space for a while would be so appreciated. It's a big responsibility, and I want to make the right choices.
