Quote from peilthetraveler:
People liquidated their gold & silver positions meet margin requirements in other assets. 500 point drop in the dow is going to be some big margin calls for some people, so they have to get out of gold temporarily. If the market catches its breath tommorrow(meaning we stay flat or go up in the dow and not down again), we should see metals go up. Might even see them go up tonight depending on how asia and europe sessions go.
so if Gold were to drop 10% then people would liquidate their stock holdings? that makes a lot of sense
