@Subramanyan:
In the face of the Iran crisis, did your portfolio have enough Gold or Oil as a "parachute"?: unfortunately no. And that is sad indeed as I was planning to enter but waiting for a decent correction first. 2. Did you protect your profits in February? Will gold break $5,500 in March? Will crash history repeat itself in March: did book and protect some profit in Feb but not all of it. And gold could perhaps well touch $5500 provided the present situation lasts longer & doesn't end in a few weeks.
