Too bad, it was among my favorite stocks. 'Buy into a business that's doing so well an idiot could run...

Re: Gold / Stock / Bonds at highs or near highs?
I am looking at where each of the three investments currently are and it seems that two - stock and bonds - are at the all time highs while gold is near an all-time high.

Re: ee bonds
I am a big fan of EE bonds for the reasons you mention.

Re: PP and the Election
I am perfectly happy with the PP's performance.
I'm just curious as to what people think is motivating the trends in the various asset classes post election.
