>My portfolio is currently 93.5% equities, 6.5% cash. Conservatively estimating, the cash portion probably represents ~24 months expenses. I’m thinking about moving 30-45% of that cash into gold ETFs. Would this be a poor idea?
If that cash represents your emergency fund I wouldn't use that to buy gold ETFs. I would sell some of your equities that have been poor to mediocre performers and reallocate that money into gold ETFs and gold miner ETFs.
I have been invested in physical gold and silver, gold ETFs, and gold miner ETFs since 2019. As for ideas where to put that gold allocation:
2025 Year To Date (YTD), the total return of the S&P 500 index (VOO) is +15.92%. These are the 2025 YTD total returns for my gold ETFs. My physical gold has had similar performance:
* BAR +54.04%
* PHYS +53.87%
* SGOL +53.97%

I got significant KGC since it was a $7 and GDMN since it was $50. Up nicely and it’s still projected to rise sharply.

>I’d love to hear what banks or platforms you personally use or recommend for gold investments
I own gold ETFs, gold mining stock ETFs, and individual gold mining stocks in my Charles Schwab IRAs. I also have two separate IRAs with other custodians specifically for holding physical gold and silver. All of them have been killing it this year.

kolla på guld. det är en bull market nu. centralbankerna köper som om det inte fanns någon morgondag, pga alla oroligheter i världen. jag säger inte att du skall gå in med alla 800k i guld, men jag har portfölj med tex. CDE KGC AEM PAAS, råvaran går också bra. jag har bitcoin kvar, men bara 2% av portföljen typ.

Nice! Yeah I have too many metals play to name them. But my WPM and KGC plays are some of my biggest winners. I have some PSLV but I can only sell it now cause it’s no longer trading on the U.S. market.
Seems some people are sensitive about a dip lol downvoting the reality of last times $50 touch. Bottom line you have to still be vigilant at this price point and ready for the manipulators to do what they do.
