Most guys would rather bet on fantasy sports with FanDuel.

Maybe he saw the handwriting on the wall. With lagging performance, it was inevitable his investors would eventually pull out the $100 mill. I'm guessing his poor results in December caused him to revenge trade to try to make back his losses with devastating consequences.

Since 2014 ended with Gold closing at the bottom of its 18 month range, I will venture to say 2015 will close higher, but rangebound. There isn't the inflation out there to drive gold higher, so there's only (other than inflation) safe haven buying right now, which is invariably temporary.

For the foreseeable future, nothing matters except central banks. Yes, new highs will be coming, but it's not related to employment. It's the world's central banks working together providing liquidity and keeping interest rates low, pricing risk assets higher.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army Prince Nuada Kills King Balor.

You're probably right.

The $200 was a trigger event, no pun intended. Seems that he resented his father for being successful, which had eluded him, and he blamed his father for not helping him enough. He probably suffered from depression. Look at his most recent pictures post-Princeton. He couldn't smile at all. Only...
