re: ["What about just being in cash as a hedge in these perilous times?"] There is nothing wrong with sitting in cash during market environments like this. ...nothing at all. But, cash is not really a "hedge" or, an insurance policy that can pay you, and insure your long positions. But, as far as sitting in cash, in the dollar... The US Dollar that every single gold bug permabull pundit drove a stake through? The US Dollar that was going to USD 50? The Dollar that Bernanke was going to drop from helicopters? The Dollar that many were going to fuel their furnace with? This Dollar? SOTB PS: As far as sitting in cash... "Sometimes, the best trades are the ones you don't make."
