Gold has gone up 40% in the last year. Generally a good hedge against inflation.

Not sure that’s true historically.

Chart of the Day: Gold vs. Inflation

Today's Chart of the Day provides a look at gold prices adjusted for inflation dating back to 1920. When did it peak and where is it today?

Real estate or stocks looking at the data. I forgot you don’t believe in facts though, just whatever some grifter has told you, which explains this:

Given current events I'm going in on European defence/arms manufacturers:

BAE
Thales
Saab
Leonardo
Rheinmettal

Missed the early run on them last week, but it seems fairly certain that Europe is going to significantly increase defence spending.

My portfolio - Dead in the water since trump took office, my tech stocks went down, my cable stocks went down (Prysmian spa) and now my small btc portfolio is plummeting, since he took office I've lost like 60% of my portfolio around €30,000

For our bonus this year, my company awarded us shares worth a few hundred quid which we got in early March. Sound judgement on my part to immediately sell them back rather than keep them.

Nobody knows where the bottom is, if we did it would be easy, but I agree with the buy now strategy. If you took the FTSE as a whole (basically bought the FTSE) it will recover and long term will always hit a new high. It won't make you rich overnight and not as safe as bank interest, but it will recover and will turn a profit.

My pension pot has now dipped by £25k so that's an extra year I'd have to work, but I'm happy that it means my contributions will be buying lower now, so when it recovers it will be much better. Fortunately at 52 I have around another 10 years to go. If I was retiring next year I'd be panicking a little now.

That's why you don't try to be a hero and go all in on day 1.

Really not sure what you're trying too prove. Every person and their dog knows about averaging your investments.

I just mean there’s a certain tension between warning against going “all in on day 1” and also urging “buy as much as possible” on day 5!

No doubt it will recover but it's a matter of when it recovers.

Buying now is good but it will just keep adding to my loses , I already see enough red everywhere.

To scared to look at the value of my Stocks and Shares ISA, it had dropped about 8k before Trump announced his tariffs. I can imagine another 15k gone since then. I won't be tempted to look.

So what. You'd still make money,
Making 10% profit instead of 20% isn't a disaster, it's still a profit.

You should send Trump a few quid as a thankyou!
