This is really,really funny.

You (like others before you) can be totally wrong in your views (expect rising interest rates and a market collapse which wuld lead to lower commodity prices) but you get exactly the opposite. Gold up $24 (currently) and your mini-holding in NUGT might even get you back to almost breakeven while your views on what should  (guess: would) happen was exactly wrong. 
Almost like having a facecard and an eight on the table in Vegas and saying "hit me" and beating the house. 

Sometimes you "luck out, betting against the odds."  In the short term.....only. Bes of luck beyond the short term though.
