well bitcoin is no digital gold that’s for sure . it’s been pummeled . i guess the kiss of death is when you see etfs for a specific asset come out in droves . i rebought it again and i am down about 20% but its only a bit over 1% of assets so i will just let it sit indefinitely in ibit the ones le...

Damn, I was going to rebalance a bit out of Silver this week So close! My silver is now only up 63% in the last three months Grr :) If you hold physical, you might not have found a buyer anyway. That's what I'm hearing. For good and bad, I hold all my Gold and Silver in retirement accounts

Damn, I was going to rebalance a bit out of Silver this week

So close!

My silver is now only up 63% in the last three months

Grr

My portfolio isn't very PP, but I do hold more than 10% Gold

I have rebalanced a bit out of Gold

Put some into Silver as part of a new allocation

Some into stocks (was low on my allocation due to various factors) and bonds (Intermediate Term Treasuries)

I think the Silver \ Gold ratio is back to more normal levels, so, we'll see what the future holds

If the year ended today, I'd be right! (Gold) Silver and BitCoin weren't options :) 3-5% on BITCOIN I believe is a good choice I missed 13 years of great rising :'( I'm working slowly to get there Silver got itself there :) Which % of silver you have ? Is it part of PP? Please comment While I used ...

Another day, another +9% for SIVR

This timeline is weird

Plan to do quarterly purchases

Guess it's time for it all to come crashing down

Not quite three months, and I've made a few purchases since (most smaller), and:
* Silver: +42% (er, 12/26 update: almost +55%)
* Bitcoin: -22.5%

Damn

Just crazy, it is

What I think of as a 'regular' YouTube finance channel that used a portfolio with gold in a video that wasn't about having gold in the portfolio (60% SP500; 30% 10-Year Treasury; 10% Gold) Not something I recall seeing https://youtu.be/H1hM7_RrMjE (Note: she recently started using the 4.7% rule as t...

Silver is just going gangbusters

And Bitcoin going faster in the opposite direction

I bought a little IBIT Plan to do quarterly purchases Guess it's time for it all to come crashing down Hi Nice move on starting small and scaling in with quarterly buys — that’s a solid way to build a position over time.

Even if you’re in the U.S. or another region, please share your setup — and for those in Europe who run an American PP, I’d also love to know what ETFs you picked. Australia : 25 Gold 75% VDCO <snip> The PP can be difficult to implement in 401(k) plans. Stock index funds and money market funds are ...

I got some more iBonds in late October with the fixed 1.1% rate

As of Nov 1, .9% fixed rate

Weird to buy TLTs now. But I do not care, just staying on the course. :-)

At least interest rates are above 1%!

I don't have the stomach for Long Term Treasuries

(while I hang out here and hold Gold, I don't have what I'd call a PP)

I have rebalanced my 4x25HBPP from 35% Gold today. Yeeeeah! :-) Crazy, innit? Especially with SP500 being up ~14%, cash around 4%, TLT up 7% When did you last rebalance / what were you at at the beginning of the year? Did you rebalance to 25% or something else? And, did you rebalance everything to ...

(although what that would say about the rest of the economy in 2025, ugh)

Hasn't done that well, but, damn it's doing well so far this year

So I told him "Well if that's true then I guess I'll be paying in cash!"

lol!

I'm an investment genius -- silver zagged in the appropriate (up) direction when gold zigged (down)

I've got a track record of close to 24 hours

Worship me!



(Just, ignore my IBIT purchase yesterday )

I almost want to go check out the new Boglehead thread

Almost

But doubt I'd learn anything new

yeah, I would have had higher returns in the SP500 vs my gold investments

But, I like the non correlation

and we'll see how the next few years play out

See, the sky is falling, IBIT lost close to 2% today / the day after I invested

Anyone who shorted it, you are welcome



(and yes, I went into it expecting high volatility, so, not surprised or angst ridden )

So surreal Golds recent returns
