Gold took a big leap, today. Works for me! And, you’re right - my 401K and IRA have not moved much (still UP, but not by much) since last Fall.
Got a LOT more principle paid on the farm mortgage, though, and you know where my priorities lie, anyway. :)
Better buy a few more ribbons on eBay for my old Olivetti. I’ve got a Manifesto to type, LOL!
--and imho that beats the heck outa "down-not-by-much"...
