Quote from oldtime:
well if you're going to just sell things based on how bad they are, the EUR is probably stronger than the dollar, and I don't care how long you are gold, the government will ultimately decide if you can sell it and what it will be worth.
If curencies go down just because the government is bad the dollar should be way down, but recently it has been pretty strong, and I don't see USA doing anything particularly good recently, so maybe over some long time bad and down have some correlation, but not in the short time frames I usually trade, but thanks for the advice.
