I have SLV and GLD which should theoretically be up in an inflationary environment, and they are down as well.
As painful as it is to watch my IRA, I'm holding and I actually bought a little bit yesterday. I've been keeping about 1/3 of my IRA in cash. It's just under 25% cash at the moment. I'll keep investing another 1% or so each week.

Since WW2, there have been more than several rolling 10 year periods of U.S. bonds beating U.S. equities. O.F.F., Discount Rate and yield on 10 Treasury Bond are too low. Eventually they will adjust.

Just at work this morning I overheard two coworkers complaining about the market and talking about possibly pulling out their money so they don't lose more. It blows me away there are people like this still in 2022, but as the saying goes, a fool and his money are easily parted.

I'm buying...
That's how I felt when I bought AMD at 109 and it dropped to 103 the next day. Wish I sold but now I'm bagholding for who knows how many years.
