QCOM has held up a lot better than I ever expected. Years ago I thought it ludicrous that the company had a bigger capitalization than General Motors had at the time. The laugh was on me!

I take it that I should short GLD to short gold? How do I know their stocks of gold aren't just tungsten with gold plating and I'd really be shorting tungsten? Shorting tungsten from $1600 per ounce would be a good move. does the price of GLD match that of gold stocks or does it allow for a 20% possibility that the gold is actually, in part, tungsten or lead?
