Another banger!!! Learned some new things. I really like the criteria for picking the etfs. I picked most of mine based on research. Question, how much free cash (percentage or ratio to portfolio size) is good to hold in the brokerage account for downturns?
Thanks Josh :) I personally only hold my emergency fund as cash in my portfolio (because of the interest I get from it). I learned over time that most of the times i was holding cash to wait for corrections i ended up missing the boat. So i invest everything i can every month regardless of the market. But in a big downturn, since i have a stable job and stable financial situation, I might dig into my emergency fund is the market is particularly attractive (say loss of 20-30%)
Really good questions. Gold is usually bought during periods of economic instability, geopolitical tension, or when a recession is anticipated. Right now we might get it right with a soft landing without recession so i personally wouldn't. Honestly, i believe equities always give the best result over time, so since i invest for the long term i'm 100% on equities. I would never short the s&p500, except if one day in the future the geopolitical conditions and balance of power changes dramatically!

What do you think about investing in Gold such as GLD or IAU during these times? And also would you ever short the sp500?
