Re: The GOLD scream room
I also captured some profits today by rebalancing out of gold. I'm as excited as anyone to see the gold price go up, but I'm still staying disciplined with maintaining a balanced portfolio.
After today's gold price pop my portfolio rolled over to a new leading digit! Woohoo!

Sold 10% of total gold in an IRA to cash as my LTT duration was above 5.6 years. I can either raise cash or sell LTT’s to restore fixed income duration. Chose to capture some gold gains instead of sell LTT.
I think they call that killing 2 birds with one stone haha
I hope it continues to go up but I’m the kind of person that will perseverate on a missed opportunity to sell a little.

Re: The GOLD scream room
PMs are starting to look a bit frothy. Gold is closing in on $2100 and silver is within spitting distance of $30/oz. My gut says things are moving too fast and we may see a correction soon.
Re: The GOLD scream room
Uncertainty in the world has been moving pretty fast for months. Maybe PMs are just starting to catch up?
Re: The GOLD scream room
Looks like we're seeing some profit taking today with a pullback in the price of metals across the board.

Re: The GOLD scream room
I just bought a big chunk of gold (and stocks and LTTs) today when I rebalanced out of cash, so that’s why gold and everything else dropped today.
Sorry about that, guys.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Has anyone else noticed that gold did not go up by $100/oz today?
What's up with that?

I held down F5 but the USD value kept going down. Maybe I should switch to View > Refresh tomorrow and see if that helps.

Which I guess we should expect, given the rest of the insanity.

How kind of the markets to rebalance my portfolio by selling off gold so I don't have to.
