@srm777,
I also put money on Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen winning.
It looks as though I might also lose on the Dutch election.
Given the move in Gold, my portfolio and my trading parcel have more than covered my "gambling" losses. If I get addicted, I'll blame you, losing money has never been this exciting and fun.
I really hope we see a couple more rate hikes this year, I don't see how the US economy can withstand even 1 or 2% rates, the quicker we get there, the quicker this whole house of cards will come crashing down and gold will be sent into the stratosphere.
Cheers
Ivan
