That's understandable. Gold goes up when people are worried about the economy and the safety of their stock portfolio. Fears or war and turmoil factor in. It drops when people feel better about the future.
The arrogance of the Democrats, always preaching down to us, demeaning us, that began with the Most High and Exalted Obama, has been offending the majority of Americans, that this election is as much a vote against the unqualified, incoherent and very silly Kamala, as it was a vote against the "I am so much better than you are," Obama, and against the lawlessness, gross abuse of power and unconstitutionality of Nancy Pelosi.
If anyone should be impeached and jailed for abuse of power, unconstitutionally and seditiously attempting to undermine a president for 8 years, it is Pelosi.
Kamala's huge loss was fueled by everyones desire to take Obama and Pelosi, who hand picked autocratically and undemocratically, Kamala behind closed doors, down a hundred pegs or so.
Congratulations at the voters who did the takedown!
During the Obama era, equities also boomed but without any relationship to earnings ratios or any other performance metrics. Most of Obama's stimulus money ended up on Wall Street. Meanwhile, inflation for most consumers was masked because of cheap energy from the fracking boom and cheap consumer goods from China. In other words, in 2012, Obama was literally saved by fracking and cheap imports from China.
My Progressive friends argue that Bidenomics was a success because of the stock market. I respond that it's true that Bidenomics was awesome, but only for rent seekers and the very wealthy who are largely insulated from the harmful effects of inflation. The Obama/Biden era was awesome for wealthy people. Certainly why the billionaire class supported Kamala.
A better economy is one that works for everyone, and that wasn't going to be Kamala's handout society.
The Trump Administration will be wise to explain EVERY policy decision at an intelligence level of a 9th grader so that the usual suspects in the media propaganda industry can't sabotage the intent of the policies.
This was a Trump mandate, and he needs to build his cabinet better than he did in 2017.
Just to get on the record, I have a name for this election. Just call it the DMT election. Seriously, stuff happened that was crazier than the craziest surrealistic rock video. Talk of making mutilating surgery available to children at their request. Cancelling and even annihilating whole population groups. A major party candidate who exemplified the Peter Principle (per author Laurence Peter) five times over in her career. Count them. District attorney. State attorney general. U.S senator. Vice-president. Presidential nominee.
Then the people spoke. In the present political epoch, 51 percent is the new 60.
I feel so unburdened by what has been.
Outstanding epilogue!
Short and sweet...Perfect...
Anyone who loves humor, and I am sure all readers of Aspen Beat do, check out the Babylon Bee..
Yahbut, the price of gold dropped $75/ozt, too.
That's understandable. Gold goes up when people are worried about the economy and the safety of their stock portfolio. Fears or war and turmoil factor in. It drops when people feel better about the future.
Correct. And it also drops when people anticipate declining inflation.
"Final" humiliation? I certainly hope not...

EXCELLENT!!!
To all previous comments I say, “Amen!”
Answered prayers
We can live in technicolor again, instead of being hectored into the same shade of gray

Let's take bets.
Who will be the next Attorney General?
I pray he/she is not as horrible as any of President Trump's past picks.

And Baron Trump is really tall.
