NEW YORK - President Donald Trump’s tariffs have spooked investors, with fears of an economic downturn driving a stock market sell-off that has wiped out US$4 trillion (S$5.3 trillion) from the S&P 500’s peak last month, when Wall Street was cheering much of Mr Trump’s agenda.

            I’m about ready to bury some gold. I was laughing at the gold buying people a year ago, then I read that JP Morgan Chase was taking their FIRST planeload of gold ($4 billion) to put in the vault in NYC. Last month this happened. Other banks are doing the same.
