Not sure if I fall under the sharp category or not but my investing strategy is pretty boring.

About half is in large cap indexes like FZROX, FXAIX.
I've recently built a decent position in energy indexes like VGENX, VGELX, FSENX. Started that when oil did whatever it did at the beginning of the pandemic.
I'm working on increasing my position in banking at the moment. FSRBX is the only holding currently.
There a few few other random mutual funds I'm holding... small / mid cap / international... mostly indexes but there might be a few actively managed in there.
This isn't all the tickers but it's repersentitive of my holdings.

I also have more than I like in money markets right now and low yielding income contracts. This is the result of selling off excess investments against a fixed schedule of amount of assets in play.
Prices have risen for several years now so I use the cash as a hedge so I can cost average back in as prices fall.

I'm currently NOT holding bonds, precious metals, or crypto but I'm watching all of those.
I'm 99.54% sure all holdings are valued in US dollars.
The only individual company stocks / options I'm holding are the ones my employer grants (primarily in the form of RSUs) and I sell those the second they vest.

I'm sure this is not the top secret information you were looking for but it's what I've been doing for a couple decades and I'm happy with the performance it has provided.
Any information is helpful.
I appreciate it.
Is it better to buy physical gold or gold options?
It depends.
But if I was you I would buy gold options. I would probably go for a mutual fund or Buy some Bitcoin over Physical gold. If you are looking for an investment with a great return you should buy gold options but for the normal investment, you can buy physical gold. But you can take the advice of experts in this matter.
