The country voted on Tuesday, the money is voting now.  Gold is currently trading at 1725.90 per ounce. You might notice that the administration is pushing for higher taxes on the wealthy.

Obama has been pressing to let the George W. Bush-era tax cuts expire at the end of the year for the wealthiest 2 percent of the nation’s households, a tax hike adamantly opposed by Republicans. But Carney suggested that even the revenue generated by letting those tax cuts end would not be enough to tame the national debt and reenergize the economy.

It is refreshing to see Carney saying that the letting the Bush tax cuts expire won't be enough to tame the debt and energize the economy. The only way to do that is to cut spending. Drastically, to the bone. Entitlement cuts by the bushel. No, he wants 1.6 trillion in new taxes. The money folks can see which way this debate is going, and they're dumping stocks.
