I suggest you hoard your gold... quietly.

Cleared $1000 easy, in today's bloodbath, but fell back as the dumping
started.

You should get a sailboat and use gold as ballast.
A cubic foot weighs over 1200 pounds.
Shiney cantering gold keel perhaps.

back in the 80's my brother (USCG) rescued a couple who had all of
their retirement and savings on the boat in gold coins. Over 250K.
They sold everything and were going to enjoy a life of cruising. The
boat , a trawler, pitch poled and "exploded" into a thousand chunks of
fiberglass when it flopped down off a rolling wave crest. All the gold
was lost. They were told a dozen times not to attempt crossing the bar
but due to fatique they decided to risk it.
