So I took advantage of that with a partial rebalance. Gold may eventually keep climbing, but it feels good to have taken a little off the table on a day like today. I created this concept of "may rebalance" because there were too many times that I missed out on an opportunity to take gains waiting for that last 1%. I don't have any math to prove that it's any better than anything else but it satisfies the emotional side of investing.
I guess it's better to have felt smart (or lucky) for a whole two months than to never have felt smart at all! ;D

If this keeps up it won't be long before I have to do it again. Good problem to have, I suppose.

I can’t sell gold, and I wish there was some group like AA that I could go to for this problem.

"Across the last 5 decades, that puts the Nikkei and gold priced in Yen virtually neck and neck in terms of gains for Japanese investors and savers, rising 811% and 818% respectively since the start of 1974" https://www.bullionvault.com/gold-news/ ... -022220242

Demographics. Also, is it more difficult to code/innovate software in chinese/japanese syntax?

I tried https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewto ... 9#p8620469

Lets hope to go another 40 years before another video this troubling https://x.com/ArmageddonProse/status/20 ... 2245206349

I think they mostly code in the languages that you code in, don’t they?
