Honestly, it was a good time to cash in on the profit. Even as a fairly lazy investor who looks at long term gains, hindsight (and some time to look at the numbers) tells me that I would have sold off my holdings, then buy back in when it dropped lower.

The numbers within these couple of months have been great for precious metals. It started off with the hype in gold, which shone a light on silver, then palladium and platinium caught fire (figuratively). Precious metal as a safe haven calms the investors' nerves and everyone keeps flocking back when things get rough.

I'll look to pick up more if the slide continues a little more.

Geopolitical Risk Fuels Gold Highs: Oil & Silver Next?

Geopolitical risks have overtaken supply surplus concerns, reshaping market dynamics as gold hits new highs. gold surged nearly 2% on Monday, surpassing $4600 for the first time, marking a record high with a $280 gain year-to-date. silver climbed nearly 4%, while Brent crude oil rose over 1%, nearing $64 per barrel. Meanwhile, traders are increasingly betting on higher oil prices via the options market. With gold at record highs, does the geopolitical premium justify further upside? In the precious metals space, which do you favor for 2026: gold, silver, or oil?
