"The gold price spike, got me."

I totally agree that it's quite plausible for gold to spike before a major hit on us by AQ. But this isn't it. Gold has been much more volatile in the last few month due to many reasons. Primarily, IMO due to the dollar losing value. Now if gold spikes $50 to $100 suddenly, as a previous posted mentioned, I would be more likely to think something is up. I'm a rank amateur where gold is concerned. Maybe someone with a professional slant can add their 2 cents worth.

If I were AQ, I would also short equities...there is great downside risk in stock as well...
