Good point. The Debt / GDP is horrendous, and will only get worse over time. Between the spiraling debt and the global de-dollarization process, there are bound to be some big changes coming at some point. I figure having an allocation to gold/silver makes sense, to balance the stocks, bonds, cash.

santafe, Thanks :o)
It would seem logical for the Fed to cool it for a while, and see how the economy is responding. They can always dial up a few more rate increases later if needed. But Powell is apparently obsessed with the 'Volker mistake' of the 1970s, where the Fed dropped rates too early and then had to clamp down even harder later.
One way to avoid that would be to not overdo it now. The lag time between rate hikes and the economic effect makes the Fed's job a tough one, and historically the Fed tends to tighten too late, and keep the brakes on too long. Powell already screwed up with his 'transient' assumption, so we'll see what happens. Inflation is not nearly as entrenched today as it was in the 1970s, and might resolve faster than expected as the supply chains return closer to normal.
Concerning the short term CD approach (as opposed to T-Bills or money market), this does reduce your flexibility somewhat, since it's possible the stock market will take off to the upside before the CDs mature, and selling them early presumably would entail a penalty. But sounds like a good strategy, although having zero in stocks has risks of its own. Fwiw, I figure a permanent 10-15% stock allocation (S+P 500) provides discipline to have all bases covered. Currently I'm at 29%, but could quickly drop it down to 15% if things start to unravel in earnest.
Thanks for your insights :o)
