As of today, IAU/PHYS comprises 25.94% of my PP investments and has surpassed SPY at 25.81% for the first time since inception in 2011.
Gold is not back at the high for the year, but equities have declined in the recent weeks (what is it 9 days down for the S&P now?).
PP has come back too with LTT's declining the most from their highs to still post a strong YTD return.

Feeling comfortable with some $$ to invest into stocks if/when we see declines to SPY 180.
May be more to worry about on 11-8, but it is my sons birthday so we'll be celebrating no matter what ;D

Kind of. It comprises 28% of my pp, but the pp only makes up 34% of my total holdings.

I adopted the Golden Butterfly in January which meant balancing to 20% which actually meant buying more at the time because I was down to almost 15%.

Pretty sure I'm not > 25% now and doubt that I ever was even when gold reached its peak for the year. It was doing very well but so was everything else up until a few months ago.

Can't tell you what the percentage is now because that would mean I would have to look and I make it a habit to only look when things are doing well and I expect to be pleased with what I see.

I have a slightly modified holding of 25% gold and 5% silver. So overall precious metals >25%

Interesting that gold and bonds do not like Hillary, or at least the perception that uncertainty has been removed. I would imagine she will continue to be hounded if she wins.
