The gold portion of my 4xHBPP is still hanging around 30%.
Just thinking if I should rebalance now and not wait for it to approach my rebalance band at 35%.
Do not want to time the market but do not want to miss the opportunity either.
The Fed's say that they anticipate 3 rate cuts by the end of the year.
How it may affect the cold price?

I guess it is better to sit tight, stay the course and keep using PP for protecting myself from myself. :-)

It is just feels itchy that the opportunity to rebalance from peaking gold could have been missed.
Or maybe not... :-)

i know , but why we want to bench mark off a relatively small piece of time is so silly .

we spend 80% of all our vestment time between the old low and old high .

to think we benchmark off a point in time with very small odds of hitting are , just silly .

more typically we will sell in that 80% range.

i have been trading in and out of gld and tlt for 6 months .

it usually goes up after i sell and i end up rebuying lower than i sold . so i ma getting used to it making some new high only to fall back again .

i sold gold last week , it went up 12k more than i sold. only to give it back in two days plus more .

so i bought again yesterday.

but these are very large positions i take as if it falls i dont mind holding them
