What bands do you use?sophie wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:10 pmI didn't "opportunistically" rebalance. I did it when I crossed a band. I was watching for when that happened using a google sheet I designed to give the indication, without my having to actually check my portfolio. I remember being a little disappointed though, that I didn't rebalance when stocks hit their low point, as some people here did. However, I would have been rebalancing out of cash into stocks, whereas my rebalance involved moving money from cash and bonds (primarily) and a bit out of gold. In the end I don't think it made a lot of difference.
I'm nowhere near crossing any band right now, so sitting tight as per plan.
Stay cool...

I'm a hair's breadth away from hitting 35% gold, I am leaning towards cutting back on luxury purchases so that I can contribute more to the lagging assets until my current contract expires in a few months. But it's not a bad problem to have.

Selling Gold in taxable is a tough pill to swallow.

Taxable. Now, in my case it isn't that big of a deal because I can sell some high cost-basis coins, so the tax bill isn't that bad at all. That's before any IRA or HSA contributions, too.buddtholomew wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 12:34 pmTaxable or tax-deferred accounts?Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 11:36 amI'm a hair's breadth away from hitting 35% gold, I am leaning towards cutting back on luxury purchases so that I can contribute more to the lagging assets until my current contract expires in a few months.
