unless whatever "gold" you bought into actually delivered you physical gold or pays out a dividend...it's probably being played the same as everything else, thats the whole point of a bubble.

bonds are a whole other beast, as bonds whole point is to act as a safe secure longterm investment....when the wolves run the show...their whole goal is making everything unsafe. they're trying to "shake people out"

hence, mass devaluation of USD, ontop of out of control inflation (being hidden in crypto), and undermining any and all sources reliability like say...replacing heads of various "independent" federal agencies meant to report on the economy (and mass firings in those orgs). and of course...that ol' sovereign debt crisis that pops up every 3-6 months.

if your goal is keeping your nestegg safe, nothing connected to the US economy/USD is safe until the wolves are gone. but overall...you can just follow buffets advice, put your $ in stuff you know and don't mind holding a long time.

if you already sold your stocks...i'd look over everything you sold and see where it stands now, buying back might still a good deal. hell maybe it dropped since and you get a discount, who knows.

they're playing a dangerous game...if they (the people behind trump) forget rule 1, they arent the oldest players and that means they definitely don't have the lowest cost basis. they fuck over or steal from the wrong people too many times and eventually they will get wiped out themselves (though forcing institutions to start offering and by extension buying crytpo, because they have hedge...smart move...)
