Rebalancing - General Advice

[stuper1]

To me, this is one of the best things about the HBPP. I know that I have gone years of my life without looking at my portfolio, because I've gotten busy with other things. It's really good to know that with the HBPP I can come back 2 or 3 years later with good assurance that my financial life won't be in ruins.

My gold rebalancing plan is to let it grow from 10% to 35% over the years / decades, if it indeed ever does that, then at 35% knock it back to 25% and magically arrive at a PP gold allocation. Therefore, my allocation plan is the keep 10/35 = 29% of the gold in ETF form in my IRA, and rebalance from there, and the rest physical, and not have to sell physical. If the allocation sinks from 10% to 7%, I'll buy there and refill it back up to 10%.
