Quote from scriabinop23:
My feeling is that the gold and currency markets are actually disagreeing with you. When the senate passed 75-25, the currency markets increased downward resolve (same with gold/silver). No reason for 'fear trade' anymore.
Combine that with treasuries going up (long maturity too), and that says the market does not question the validity of the proposal substantially... I think enough people are convinced that the US govt is actually possibly going to gain and not add to structural debt long term via this proposal.
I was the first to argue out of the gate the other side ... but the markets are saying something right now.
