VanEck Gold Miners ETF

SSgA Active Trust - SPDR Gold Shares ETF

GLD: +10.6% (March-2020 to Feb 2021)
GDX: -3.9% (May-2020 to Feb 2021)
**Total Gold allocation performance: +7.5% in <1 year**

I decided to sell most of my gold holdings to free up some cash to re-allocate into equities. Thinking is that I don't need to be so risk-averse, and I'm willing to spend some time to research and find a company at a discount.

This freed up ~5% of my portfolio so taking any and all risky bets, including crypto. Please feel free to make suggestions :)

On my to-research list: NYT, MTCH, more AMAT, more MNST, BTC/ETH

I probably only have time to do 1-2; please give ideas!

Afterthought: I just realized I sold GLD within 1 year so I can't pay long-term capital gains, losing out on tax savings. Don't be like me, folks. Think about the taxes!
