Macro level the FED want to crash the economy as this is the cure for inflation. People need to lose jobs. If you look at past data, with previous inflationary spikes v interest rates and the job losses it provoked this will be ugly. Do not doubt the crash is coming. The clever money is on the move and portfolios are rebalanced to include much more cash. You can get a better return with cash. Specific to Gold, crypto is taking meat off the table. Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme cos you're average Joe is never going to understand or buy into it, so low volumes and no new people to sell to. Its all so clever with its decentralised ledgers and oooh look,..a halving golly gosh. big picture = zero utility despite the banks trying to make it catch on. This will go to zero eventually IMO but we're talking a few years! Gold won't really become en vogue until interest rates peak and the SEC gives crypto another good kicking. They will regulate it to death, or do people really think that they'll not defend the dollar to the death??!!! 2-3 years this will start to look very different, but if you're in a single stock like CEY I'd personally take a hit, stick it in cash and wait until next year to re-invest as I think when the market crashes everything is down! You'll see this at 50p at some point. OR top drawer it for a couple of years.
