A stock of mine (SLX) is subject to a friendly takeover.

I get a 33% gain against todays marketprice but I am still upset as a few weeks of favourable market conditions would have provided the same gains + more upside potential.

Sucks. Sellouts...:D

How is an ETF basket subject to a takeover?

Stocks and USTs falling on the same day... now there's a fun new development...
I think it's perfectly logical, given how we have seen them perform together for a while now.

Right - Fed giveth, Fed taketh away.

This is where things could get really ugly for gold...

Yes, it could all get interesting, but much depends on how you interpret the various messages that have come out of the minutes. Obviously, the mkt is choosing to treat it as a significantly more hawkish signal than was expected. We shall see if this is, indeed, the case.
