Gold crossed into the "may rebalance" zone for my portfolio on Monday, which I define as within 2% of the "must rebalance" threshold. 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!
If this keeps up it won't be long before I have to do it again. Good problem to have, I suppose.
"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
