I recently bought muni bond funds and SLV to hedge on inflation. PMO pays a nearly 5% dividend which is tax free. I'll take that over a 1% savings account (with taxes) any day.
key word, recently. As in, within a week.
I realized a nearly 80% gain on my AMZN shares, and 50% on MDB shares, and a bunch of other wins as I managed to call the bottom of the V pretty well.
However, with the nasdaq fully recovered, yes I am realizing some gains and taking a more defensive position.
