CD: "My philosophy is keep some wiggle room to go either way, respond as events unfold."

Exactly what I am trying to do.

"wei xian" = danger
"ji hui" = opportunity
"wei ji" = crisis = danger + opportunity

fwiw, for context,

i am positioned high (48%) cash (yen, hkd/usd, chf, cad, in order of allocation size)

(9.7%) physical gold/platinum

(10%) energy (petrobank, vermilion, suncor, shenhua, sxr uranium one, canadian oil sand, baytex, peabody, karoon gas, cameco, oilsands quest, ...)

(2.5%) pm shares (agnico eagle, barrick, yamana, golden star, pan american silver, silvr standard, nova gold, northern dynasty, nevsun, minefinders, metallica, claude resource, zijin, impala platinum,

(1.3%) misc resource plays (baffinland iron, noble group, cresud)

(0.4%) real estate plays (MTR - metro in hk, alexander & baldwin, koh samui airport,

(0.4%) proshare ultra short financial

(0.8%) hk hotsie totsies

(27%) rental real estate

i believe inflation is real

debt depression will be put off by deliberate inflation

but will eventually happen anyway

i.e. zimbabwe solution first, argentine outcome later

if to hold only one asset, then gold is good enough.

There has been a dramatic drop in the Canadian dollar, as illustrated by the chart below. I believe you are a "trend follower". They say that when currencies start to trend they can go a long way. How would you decide whether a new trend has been established, please ? Any suggestions ?
