USAGOLD note 1: With all markets either in limbo or major decline, you might have been wondering where all the money garnered from the sale of various assets is ending up. Now you know. JPM’s Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou thinks we may have reached the bottom for both equities and bonds. We will see on that one.

Of course, there are a handful of assets that haven’t been part of the everything bubble – most notably gold and silver. And perhaps that is why they are holding their own while all else is deflating under the onus of rising interest rates.
