We have an incredibly complex and resilient economy. Political divisions aside, every day, tens of millions of Americans go to work - some by car, other by train, fewer by air and a lot more by shuffling to the office in their slippers. Working together, each of us plays a role in the labyrinth of buying, selling, producing, consuming goods and services.
This isn't likely to stop regardless of who is in the White House, in Congress or in the Court. In a free-market economy, success comes from adapting to the environment and meeting the needs of fellow Americans with the right goods and services. Gold can't do that; all it can do is sit.
If you're reading this, know that you're one of the adaptable ones. You're one of the reasons our economy will keep moving. You're one of the Americans keeping the sky from falling and you have reason to be optimistic about the future. (Of course, if you want to, buy gold. Just don't expect it to calm your nerves or improve your life.)
