am agnostic

the situation bears watching, for we will know the we know, in the mean time i follow the advice of an older gentleman i recently met, for it is easy to do so as i was predisposed before i met him and heard his guidance,

my allocation is a bit different but comprised of essentially the same three items

the gentleman counselled, "i hold 1/3 each in cash, gold and real estate ... do you know why? ... because it is written in the torah"

starting, perhaps and hopefully way too early, to ponder what it would mean to exist in a world where gold trades at 5,000

i hope i am too early to speculate on such, for such a world may not be ideal, but i suppose that should such a world be, best that gold @ 5k

You say: " Even a relatively small rise to rates that are still historically low caused a substantial downturn in a market that by any measure is overpriced."

Faded.

Spurious correlations take on lives of their own seeking some utility function.

There is no mechanism of valuation that supports the aforementioned assertion.
