Portfolio allocation to gold

Gold has obviously been a very hot topic this year, particularly the last couple of months. I have zero allocation at the moment, but am wondering if it makes sense now even despite the insane run up and ATHs.

Just wanted to get some thoughts: My portfolio is currently 93.5% equities, 6.5% cash. Conservatively estimating, the cash portion probably represents ~24 months expenses. I’m thinking about moving 30-45% of that cash into gold ETFs. Would this be a poor idea?
