I remember some people had doubts about viability of GLD. Now 123 tonnes "strong". EDIT: Question. Why do you trade GLD instead of futures? Futures have preferred tax treatment.

JWCB Used to Write Repeatedly That Eventually, Washington would hunker down and protect the Treasury Market at all costs. That this would be the position, they are finally forced to withdraw to. This implies the heroin addict of the stock market is eventually abandoned and betrayed. This is a game of chicken to play with a heroin addict, leaving the stock market shaky going into next week, all to effect a USD "rally" from 80.75 to about 83.50. Do they dare blink? The Fed needs to be careful about engineering anything beyond a USD pause. (Unless I completely misunderstand their intentions--and the Reflationary Policy is now 100% over, dead, kaput.) LP
