We need to see turmoil (fresh turmoil, mind you) in the US soon. Any suggestions as to how we might achieve such?

Gold for June delivery plunged $66 to $1,498 an ounce, the largest drop since February 2012. That puts the price of the metal below $1,500 for the first time since July 2011.One trigger for the slide was a government report Friday that U.S. wholesale prices fell in March by the most in 10 months. Investors tend to buy gold when they expect inflation to increase. Any indication that prices aren't rising will prompt investors to sell gold.Traders also worry that Cyprus' plan to sell some of its gold holdings will increase supplies on the market.Gold has been declining this year on strength in the economy and expectations that U.S. interest rates could increase.

mbassoc2003 wrote in Former Thoughts or OT Chit-Chat Thread:It's a tough call, but IMO, gold and silver are more about placing funds in a stable state, and less about creating an asset that provides a return. Insurance rather than passive income.
There's no evidence, they say, that gold has been either an effective currency hedge or a "safe haven." And it's not even a very good hedge against inflation, except in some very extreme circumstances.
Badmike wrote in Former Thoughts or OT Chit-Chat Thread:I don't think we have a lot of Boston members, or marathon runners (except for Killjoy) here? My godson Joey's girlfriend (Dr. Joe's son, for those that have met him at NTRPG Con) is a marathoner and was at the race, and she is ok, but that's the extent of my connection there. I know a lot of Texas runners attend but my friends who run marathons, none attended this year.
