In case you didn't hear, there has been a massive sell-off in the gold markets in the past few days.
In fact, the two-day plunge was the ugliest move in 30 years.

John Paulson, the hedge fund giant who made a monster bet on gold
John Paulson owns more than 5% of the shares outstanding in GLD, the world's largest gold ETF. His portfolio of mining stocks is worth approximately $1.1 billion, according to the FT, and he's been the largest holder in miner AngloGold Ashanti since 2009. The FT now says Paulson's overall gold-related holdings losses now total $1.5 billion.
Peter Schiff, the strategist who's convinced gold will become a currency
Schiff has long believed gold would become a default currency in the wake of Lehman. Last summer, Schiff expressed surprise that gold prices weren't skyrocketing after rounds of ECB asset purchasing.

Just last month, Morgan Stanley Chief Metal Economist Peter Richardson doubled down on his bullish gold thesis, which he tied to central bank easing. "...We believe that gold has demonstrated considerable technical strength, offers good value at current prices both as an entry level to the trading range between US$1,540/oz and US$1,800/oz," he wrote.
