with gold being the largest single hedge fund asset class

[hardnox604008]

the cross-margin forced selling of other popular asset classes hasn't even begun yet.

AAPL used to vie with gold for #1 but I imagine it has been pared substantially- may still see some selling in popular names in both stocks and commodities.

As the saying goes, in a general liquidating market you don't sell what you want to sell, you sell what there is a bid for.

the gold -- silver ratio...or silver/gold. ie. silver strong to gold--- is through the roof...........ECIN, you might want to try & buy the entire pawn SHOP, as well.
