That is a very good question poco! Gold reached its high for many years at $500 THAT day; and then promptly fell way back with the market. Ironically, as I recall, the market recovered when the fed opened the liquidity spickits, but gold didn't?? GW has had the liquidity spickets open for 6.5 years!! Main point though, is that a stampede is hard to predict, but they happen. 1929-lol. I actually shorted 1987 as we had several days warning this would probably happen-although not to the extent it did. I shorted Honda I think?? $1 put options, interstingly the 1/8ths gained almost as much as the $1 puts. I made $10,000, but should have made $80,000. I thought about buying the 1/8ths.
