TradingWithCody Chief Guide Elad Ryba: Market character change on Monday or Something Else?

Prayers and Analysis for the Boston Marathon Explosions
Watching these images of the Boston Marathon explosions is heart-wrenching and sickening.

Heart of gold, stomach of steel
Maybe all the goldbugs are selling their gold to buy BitCoins! Just kidding. But what I’m obviously not kidding about is that gold has crashed today.
