Funny or not so funny story. Like a week before the big fallout in 2008 I sold all stocks and options and placed a HUGE order for gold and silver with APMEX. Next day I canceled and said "ahhh we have some time before the big hit" ... and rebought stocks and options and paid a premium to APMEX on a raising spot price.
Welll so I lost an effing ton and while gold/silver ended up slightly down between 08 and 08 it was only about 10% down through that period ... my positions not so much.
