Up 3.5% today.

TLT is also up another 1.5% today.

Nice.

This has been an interesting week for the PP.

(Note: I didn't see this thread before I started a new one, so I'm deleting my other thread and posting the comments here)

Looks like everyone had the same idea I did: Use the money from maturing STT to buy gold.

Unfortunately I was too slow.  FRAC!  :'(

I wonder if June 1 and Dec 1 typically see big moves in financial assets, due to the maturing STT and the resulting cash burning a hole in the collective pockets?
