Q: I am confused. Based on the daily news, and what I see economically and politically going on south of the border, I have believed for some time we are headed for trouble. And I mean Trouble with a capital T. So I have been increasing my weighting in gold and silver, I thought I was de-risking, but precious metals are getting killed (along with most things). What did I get wrong? What do you believe is the biggest driver of the current market mood?

Q: What is your take on the huge pullback on precious metals, specifically gold and silver. I always had some exposure to it; added more a few months ago when things started taking off, took some profits, and what I have left is taking a wallop. IMO, in the long term is there is still demand for gold and silver so am hesitant to cut losses only to miss a rebound.
