lol, depending on when you moved it to gold then your probably up a bunch now.

really, at the end of the day you jusy gotta do what you believe is the best move. that's the only way you'll be comfortable enough to not panic sell

personally, if i had a half a million mestegg right now and wanted to keep it safe...gold probably is one of the safer places to stash it. just make sure you have enough cash lying around to be able to pay whatever bills/debts you have during an extended economic downturn. as when that does come...gold will also plummet eventually, but it normally recovers faster because so many people/governments around the world buy so much of it.

the main thing is to not trade/move your money emotionally, dont panic sell or buy cause of a fear of missing out. these greedy assholes want you to do that, thats the whole reason they fuck with shit like this. it's a sick game to these people. you got to have rules, a plan for scenarios like this one (don't have everything in US companies, for example), and most importantly have the discpline stick to them.
