And so we are seeing people having more, putting more money into the US dollar, and that is strengthening at the moment.

But again, for me as like a long-term play, at least, and when I say long-term, I mean anything over a year,

I don't know if I have that much faith in the dollar, at least for right now.

And so for me, I look at other asset classes of where I can hedge and protect myself for the next year or two years and where else I can grow my portfolio for the time being.

Where are you looking?

I'm skeptical because I'm looking at the bigger picture of the last 12 months.

We have had a lot of large institutional investors that have been pulling money out of the dollar, not seeing it as so much a safe haven and putting money into emerging markets.

Or we're seeing a boom in the last 12 months of a lot of people putting money into gold and silver, myself included.

I've actually...

gone outside the rule of 3% and have put about 10% of my portfolio into gold and silver.

Now, gold and silver has taken a hit in the last few weeks because of the war, but where I was when I entered last August, which I believe was around $40, it went as high as 97 and has dropped down to 60, but I'm still at a gain because of when I entered the market last summer, last fall.

Yeah.

And so I think, and I, and I like looking at the bigger trends, like where institutional investors putting their money at and black rock, they do a, a weekly market commentary.

And they said like many where they're positioning themselves right now, a lot of commodities, a lot of emerging markets.

And not to say again, not financial advice, take everything that I say with a grain of salt, do your research, but it is something that,

To look to now the dollar is treasuries, they are safe, and they have, you know, an interest rate right now of around 4%.

So it's not a bad play.

But when you're looking at what can I, how can I get more bang for my buck?

There are other asset classes that you can definitely be looking into.

SLV.
