[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved 1/4 of my portfolio both Ira and taxable into gold ETFs and mutual funds last month. There will be a crash soon. Better to be prepared to sell the gold and buy stocks when they’re cheaper. The market always goes back up. But yea, this crash is coming. Think about it. Why are we cutting rates? How is employment? Inflation? The dollar? Cost of goods? THINK. Don’t listen to the calmness of the crowd here.[/quote]

We did something similar, and I am framing it as diversifying our portfolio. We were almost 100% in US index stocks. So back in February we moved ~25% into gold, international index ETFs, a small amount of crypto, some cash so we can buy if there is a dip. As for the other 75%, like you said the market always goes back up. If it doesn't, we probably have bigger problems on our hands. [/quote]

International is great but not as a hedge to the US.  Most international funds and even index and etfs have large part of US stocks.  Also there is no scenario where US stocks drop and international do not. [/quote]
