Re: Why the big move in gold?
"pmbug" sounds like a seller and they're fanatical about banning promotions. You could message the mods but you're not missing much. The personal finance section is good. Investing forum is the same endless discussions about tilting 6% or 6.2% to international/factors/metals

Most peanut butter has palm oil in it which some dont trust. Check the label for just peanuts and salt as ingredients. Leave it upside down overnight, then stir and store in fridge

yeah, experimental cancer treatment or something.
And if you can borrow more than you need, when the Fed starts buying mortgages again, thats more inflation protection.

Re: Rebalancing and Timing
In theory rebalance daily. If you want more growth rebalance less often as stocks will likely do better long term. When long bonds get down to 1% its another conversation.
