I did not buy gold or oil as I

I did not buy gold or oil as I think commodities are quite speculative to me. I prefer to invest direct in stocks or ETFs. I think the market sentiment has been one where there has been great fears of a market crash since the upward march 2 years ago. Nonetheless, the market continues to climb last year, leaving many to regret that they gave in to their fears and were out of the market. What happened to Nvidia is not unique to it, I do think it will happen to any of the stocks related to the AI frenzy. However, if we look at the longer term, I think the stock prices will still climb in the next 2-3 years so there is no need to panic. It’s is just market sentiment and profit taking. Overall market valuation is similar to historical values but I have chosen to manage my risk by taking profit on 20% of my US portfolio and I am excited to deploy my cash should the market crash. Gold might hit $5.5k if the latest war is protracted. Otherwise I think it would just fizzle off.

VIX 11-Month High! Healthy Correction or Start of a Bear Market?

IX Index surged to its highest level since April 2025 as a wave of panic swept through Wall Street. The S&P 500 plummeted 2.5% intraday, while the Dow Jones neared a staggering 1,300-point loss, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq led the downward spiral. Is the current spike in VIX a "buy the dip" signal, or is there more downside to come? Will the S&P 500 hold 6800, or are we headed for a deeper re-rating of 2026 valuations?
