Caveat
I prefer gold over short selling: charts shows an investment demand for gold; and even if gold falls in the near term, a financial emergency from any number of causes is coming soon, and when it does gold is going to not only stabalize but soar: I recommed that one dollar cost average buy gold at BullionVault.com over the next three weeks.
