re <<But an obsession with one asset leads to tunnel vision.>> ... not meaning to be pedantic, and just as a reminder, that ... I trade gold as a e-sport, in order to get more gold, and coincidentally, gold is likely useful for journeying through 2026 TeoTwawKi and across 2032 Darkest Interregnum. Gold is not an investment, but a go-to asset, where capital naps without as much care as elsewhere. I invest in all sorts of instruments, but all investments are for the single purpose, getting more gold. I do trade BTC coingecko.com and ETH coingecko.com , and do so in order to get more PAXG coingecko.com . All three are arguably useless or useful, depending on PoV, but trading them yields more PAXG, meaning fun, but none qualify as investment. As a family unit largest publicly-traded investment is 0388.HK finance.yahoo.com @ 9.98% NAV and second largest is 0941.HK finance.yahoo.com @ 2.5% NAV, and have been for a long time, They are essentially worry-free holdings, yields good, cost basis low and long ago covered by dividend distributions. But they, 0388 and 0941, are not nearly as much fun as gold, for gold is go-to, e-sport, and a lot of other things all rolled into one neat and social package, and best of all, gold is macro, so, therefore, obsession. macro e-sport obsession, and one that enables accumulation of more macro e-sport obsession, is unlikely to end to tunnel vision; especially not as we approach 2026 and about to get sight of 2032. Going forward likely that each US$ 1k gain to gold shall come easier and easier, mathematically speaking. Gold is NOT an 'Investment'. Gold is 'Savings'. Gold is more akin to currency than to Apple Stock or AIA Bond, or Rental Real Estate
