My investment is still in the black despite one heavy looser but looking at the long term so not worried yet .

Good to hear it.
As an investor, you should be looking at the 12-month return, and longer.
Mine are more than satisfactory.
I have been thinning out the International ones that are too dependent on Trumpland, and will dump the remainder. The combination of lacklustre performance and the incredible shrinking dollar show no sign of changing. I also gauge the US tech sector to be overbought and risky.

Why not 8 months or 2 years?
I depends on what happens, not on a calendar.
That IS reacting to what happens, and what seems likely to continue - perfectly sensible. Using "Should" and a pre-specified time period has no particular merit. You can try to use things which you judge are likely to behave in a certain way.
A way to stop one thing dominating suddenly is to "DCA in", as stated above.
There really is a long term shortage of silver, so eventually it is likely to recover its price. Gold is tending to replace the greenback as a reliable long term holding, but that will change over time. Gold is actually not a very useful or very rare asset and has no "yield", so one could use tulips, or crypto currency. The tradition is so much stronger though.
The SM behaviour is getting to look more and more like what happened in the dot com bubble. There are key differences but enough similarities to make me take heed.
