Gold Plunge A Market Meltdown Or Just A Bad Hair Day

A Girl's Gotta Ask: Is This a Crisis or Just a Clearance Sale?

So I'm watching the ticker darling and gold and silver are doing the tango with disaster. Down nearly 2% they say. It's giving me flashbacks to that time I tried to wear a bodycon dress after one too many cosmos – not pretty. But is this really a market meltdown or just a dramatic correction? As I always say "Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives?"

Warsh's World: When a 'Hawkish Dove' Shakes the Nest Egg

Apparently Trump's pick for the Fed chair this Kevin Warsh character is causing quite the stir. Word on the street (or you know Wall Street) is he's a 'hawkish dove.' Sounds like a character out of a Bond movie doesn't it? But seriously he's making investors rethink their precious metal investments. They need to Quack Up Over Calls for Lutnick's Resignation Amid Epstein Ties because his stance on the Fed's balance sheet has everyone a little on edge. Markets it seems are addicted to liquidity. And uncertainty? Well that's just bad for everyone's complexion isn't it?

JPMorgan's Two Cents: A Little Gold Can Go a Long Way

Grace Peters from JPMorgan Private Bank thinks gold is the ultimate geopolitical hedge. Like a Birkin bag for the apocalypse I suppose? She suggests a 5 10% position in portfolios.

Healthy Correction or Financial Facelift Gone Wrong?

WisdomTree's Nitesh Shah calls this whole precious metal plunge a 'healthy correction.' Like a juice cleanse after a week of martinis? Maybe. He still thinks gold will hit $5,020 per ounce by year end. Optimism! It's the best accessory isn't it? But as I always say: "in the land of Dior sometimes you've got to let go."

Oil and Troubled Waters: When Black Gold Turns Black and Blue

And just when you thought it couldn't get any more dramatic oil prices are tanking too. Something about the U.S. and Iran 'seriously talking.' De escalation? In this economy? It's like finding out your ex is suddenly a monk – unexpected and slightly suspicious.

Panic or Prudence: Deciphering the Market's Mood Swings

HSBC's Max Kettner says this isn't panic just an 'unwinding of positions.' Right. Because that makes me feel so much better. It's like when Big told me he was 'taking a break.' We all know how that ended. The only thing I know for sure is if prices keep dropping I'm investing in a lifetime supply of Manolos.
