options revisited: gold fever

gold is incredibly volatile, i tried spreadbetting on it.  during the month of its highest gain, month beginning to month end, i was betting it would go up - and i still managed to lose money. it went down so much, that my stop loss margin would kick in.   don't do things with gold in the short term its a very small and liquid market. my advice with gold, actually buy some physical gold as insurance.
