It's doubled in five years while inflation's gone up by 30+ percent. Where exactly is there to hide? Not gold - that peaked and went down a lot. Let's not talk about BTC, either.

Real estate? You've got taxes on that in the US, it's how our governments can pretend to not tax us as much as in Europe while still taxing us as much as in Europe (property tax goes to schools)

I mean, gold is up significantly more than then broad market since Trump took over, but that doesn’t mean you should gamble on it continuing.

I don’t trust real estate either. Seems like anything with a middleman is setting record levels of grift right now. I don’t trust the industries reports. No one is regulating or checking numbers.

I shifted into more bonds. Probably a bit early, but I’m not a pro. I’ve just lost trust in the market which no longer seems tied to reality or at least my limited understanding of reality. Staying in it just feels yolo atm.
