I just saw this statement on another board:
"Gold is where it was a month ago...Dow is where it was a decade ago..."
That takes some of the shock out of gold's fall!
Also, while gold began the day down $84 and is now down $70, the Dow started out down $50 and now down $440.
I think people panicked and sold anything they had this morning. After they thought it over, they switched to buying gold and selling even more equities.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months
