Sorry for the late replies anons. I forgot about this thread.
1) Depends on what you want to do. There's nothing wrong with having a speculation/"gambling" portfolio but generally over the long term you're going to want to get more conservative with your investments. I would recommend at least 50% of your investments in something like VTI or VOO. Betting the house is generally not a reliable strategy long term (95% of day traders don't make a profit long term) so generally you're gonna want some diversified long term holes or specific companies or commodities that you are confident in. The higher your risk tolerance, the less you can place in diversified funds. But be warned that you're gonna want to be beating an annual 10% return, because that's what you get on average with just S&P.
2) Writing off your loses is a good idea. It's called tax loss harvesting. "WSB mentality" would be more about chasing losses in order to offset capital gains which isn't really smart in the long run. But overall you should be writing off losses if you do have them.
3) I'm not sure if you're asking a question here
4) Obviously nothing physically demanding. Most trades are probably off the table. The alternative are professional jobs which have the opposite problem as you're gonna be sitting for basically 8 or more hours a day. So make sure you exercise and stretch frequently.
5) Technically not really. Most banks won't accept gold or silver as legal tender. So you will need to sell them off first most likely. But you are correct that gold is now a Tier 1 asset rather than a Tier 3 asset
6) Depends how much it costs. I personally would keep a good amount remaining. You don't want to have to start from scratch. Your investments should be generating money for you even when you're not employed, you don't want to lose that.
