What's on your mind?
$VanEck Gold Miners ETF(GDX.US)
Background: Gold also experienced a significant downturn this week, hitting a low of 82.4. My mindset for holding gold is for safe defense; I continue to hold despite the drop.
My actions: No position increase or decrease. Stay calm.
Insights: Gold has strong support around 4100. Gold should be allocated no more than 10%; exceeding this is not a safe allocation and makes it hard to maintain a stable mindset, as volatility is considerable.
$VanEck Gold Miners ETF(GDX.US)
Gold dipped at the start of the week amid a US Treasury bond panic before stabilizing.
I decisively bought into GDX, treating it as a gold futures proxy with 1.5-2x leverage. Not that it actually has leverage, but its volatility is 1.5-2x higher in performance.
I tend to favor it over pure commodities when trends are clear.
Of course, I also buy it in combination with others, using them as detectors for market sentiment.
Beat around the bush, scare the market, with no action taken. I'm guessing the prediction market will be happy for this .

Warsh issued a hawkish policy signal, warning that despite recent cooling inflation reports, underlying trends have not “meaningfully improved”. He indicated that the central bank might need to raise interest rates in the coming months if inflation persists stubbornly, emphasising the need for confidence that underlying inflation is moving towards the objective. Otherwise, he stated, “We have work to do.”
