Sometimes, decluttering isn't about philosophy; it's about reality forcing you to make a choice. Last June, I made a somewhat crazy decision — to sell my idle Porsche Cayenne Turbo S and switch to the precious metals market.

At that time, silver spot was out of stock, so I went to the exchange to buy. During that period, exchange rates fluctuated greatly, moving from USD to TWD, then to physical gold and silver. I timed the entire chain correctly. Looking back now, this combination of moves yielded nearly 1.8 times the USD profit. It sounds like luck, but in fact, it's about "shifting from consumption assets to preservation assets and catching the right exchange rate cycle."

The real gain isn't just that number, but understanding — when the market presents a mispricing window, do you have the courage to switch tracks? Many people get stuck on "reluctant to sell," but asset allocation is just like that — when it's time to act, you must act.

Haha, this is the moment I shout about every day—when the mispricing window appears, you have to decisively switch tracks; otherwise, you'll really get cut like a leek.

Ironically, selling the Porsche to invest in precious metals is told as if it were a genius who timed the market perfectly. But data shows that the window for silver to rebound from its lows to its highs was only a few weeks last year, and most people simply couldn't catch it. How much luck played a role is something only they know.

Selling sports cars to invest in precious metals, this move is indeed a bit aggressive. But the key is that the timing is really right; 1.8 times is not a small number.

卖车进金属？这哥们儿真敢，我只能说踩点的功力一绝啊坦白讲，这种window真的稍纵即逝，大多数人反应不过来 1.8倍收益说白了就是敢和快，两个都不缺才行不过我想知道现在金属头寸还在吗？还是又切回什么赛道了

卖车进贵金属，这操作是真狠。不过说白了还是踩对了时间窗口，换我可能就纠结死了。

Selling a Porsche to invest in precious metals? That's a bold move, but it definitely hits the right trend. The key is that most people simply don't have the courage for this; they just think about it but don't act.
