Gold isn't a safe haven like the grneenback is, gold will go up when there is money printing, easy lending, etc. gold ramp up had qe3 partially priced in, looks like no qe3 anytime soon, which is punishing gold. I'm sure similar factors in Europe and china have an effect on this too.
I sold out of gold over a month ago on this basis, hindsight says I should have sold at $1900, but so is life, still gained a 40% gain (2x levered etf) in a couple of months
