Nevermind gold then. Just hold something other than Canadian stocks, dollars . . . or jobs.

Physical, it's not an investment, more like insurance on your government and its currency. 5 percent of your portfolio.

Dow almost made history as at one point it was down over a 1000 points 
Ended up down 588, which still is donkey balls on a fu'in stick.

Pretty happy to be young, and pretty liquid right now. Waiting to see how this effects interest rates, and the Canadian housing market now.

I wished I was %100 in equities during the bull run. Today I'm glad I have a considerable bond component to my portfolio.

My secret is stay away from gold ETFs. Bullion only. I don't care what price it is in $USD...I don't live there.

5% of your bug out kit maybe. I'm not sure what it's insuring these days.

Even the North American stock markets are made in China.

Actually I think this is more important than it seems, in my lifetime the world reacted to the U.S., now the U.S. Reacts to China.
It's never happened before that I'm aware of.

For those looking into actual gold, Scotia Mocatta is one easy place to buy actual gold bullion. They have an Estore where you can buy little bars or coins, and they have different sizes etc
https://www.scotiamocatta-estore.sco...%2fH2oZSJg46qV
I think having actual physical gold, as opposed to a piece of paper that says you have gold, is never a bad thing as a supplemental insurance policy in case crap really hits the fan.

Well there was the Asian currency crisis in the late 90's. It was different, but I would consider that as a prior reaction in some ways.

And it seems like there might be another Asian currency war brewing...

The Chinese dump their cash in Vancouver because it's safer than China as the last week has shown. For the Vancouver market to crash, they all have to pull out of the Vancouver market for greener pastures, which isn't guaranteed. Vancouver's impending real estate crash isn't likely to happen because of recent events...

The Chinese cut rates overnight and the markets appear set to rebound today (except Shanghai).
