I look at this as a positive. I rebalance in early Jan. If this continues, it will allow me to capture even more gains in stocks and roll even more of that over to gold, silver and bonds.

Maybe that is a foolish rebalance, but I am going to let the PP do its thing.

And it is still over $1800 which a short two weeks ago was a big positive. Now it's a piece of shit. ;)

I just keep on selling down my position...
Even if gold goes up 100% from now it still pales in comparison to stock returns over my holding period.

O0 Crypto is really cratering today. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum…

a 2.5% hit to gold doesn’t seem so bad.

What was / is the range of percentage drops you are / were seeing in the various crypto currencies?

One benefit of this forum is that you can always tell when Gold isn't doing so well even if you aren't paying attention because Budd and Mathjak are always here to let us know.

I predict this pull back today will be viewed as nothing more noise within a month or two, at most.

Head on over to King world News if you need some encouragement

More pain ahead...
Almost done selling down to 10%

It’s unbelievable how poorly the PP is performing this year.
Thank the lord each day I don’t hold 4x25 anymore as my faith in this portfolio has faded to zero.

Gold and LTT’s in the toilet again.

i hold 5% in gold , 5% bitcoin , 5% commodities and 5% cash flying fighter cover as opposed to the big position in gold . i dont feel gold alone is diversified enough anymore with all the alternatives.

that is 5% of my total investable assets in each and not one specific portfolio…gbtc and dbc have done well this year . gold , meh.

the other 80% is in the insight models , also up this year

We always know only one day of a gold selloff never happens.

We also know gold never rides up high for any length of time without getting spanked.

I know MJ was good at pulling the trigger on trading these events, and I tell ya, i am almost interested in doing some side options to take advantage.

This will as stated before allow me to sell off some of the high flying stocks and dump into TLT and gold and silver.

It actually feels good for me. I know you can pooh pooh the PP all the time, but the ability for me to be forced to harvest gains on these stocks is priceless.

And I'll feel better about it when eventually, maybe sometime in the lifetime of the known universe, stocks actually go down for more than a day or two.

Sell high, buy low. Sounds like a good strategy.

I would feel really good about selling my Gold high and buying stocks on a pull-back.

Portfolio Visualizer has a 5 year annual return of +50% with a rebalance each year. Does the 20% discount bother you on GBTC. Do you
think it will close or get deeper with the new ETF's coming. I do think the 2% or so expense ratio will for sure need to be reduced.

Gold will give up 5% on just talk of being hawkish. Think of an actual rate increase of a 1/16 of a point. Revist the 1980's if you doubt.

I got 25%, but the world does not believe in Gold as a hedge for anything!
