moved VP to 50% cash...hold cash thru summer or get into PP ?

Post by murphy_p_t »

i raised cash recently from VP; i'm going on extended vacation, without internet access for part...trying to decide:

1.  hold cash thru summer
2. temporarily park proceeds in the PP with view to re-allocate to VP in autumn
3. go 50/50 cash/gold with these proceeds

3-4 months is probably too short of a time to expect a positive outcome from the PP, esp. during summer? any thoughts?

I would go PP and then check rebalancing bands in autumn.  Cash is not going to give you a very good return during summer either.
