When I was developing the global etf visualization tool with country, currency , commodity and sector ETF's I was convinced it would be a great resource to help guide me through the gyrations of this wild market, but it truely looks like liquidation and flight to the dollar NOT gold is what happens time and time again. Good luck to everyone trying to navigate these times and preserve their wealth.
