The Yen carry trade, buckle up boys and girls

First time I feel genuinely scared and I'm not prepared to this (stock heavy portfolio)

When you think about the sheer amount of Yen out there on loan and how it’s all starting to flood back to Japan.. and seeing gold react like that (4% up in a day)? That’s red flag for me. It’s the universal sign that even the biggest whales are genuinely terrified.
Usually, I've trusted that central banks will pull some new rabbit out of a hat, but right now they seem trapped between two impossible choices: let the currency collapse or let the entire debt system explode.

I’ve never felt this level of uncertainty before and honestly, it’s pretty haunting. How you guys are doing and what u think about this?
Hop on gold/silver train at ATH? go for BTC?
