45. I took all the cash I had left in the world and bought gold after he won. Real gold that you can hold

Not to make a profit but because I figured he'd light the world on fire in his first 6 months. Yeah, its gone up 200% or whatever (I don't pay attention to it much), but I just cash out a little when I need it. Don't care, as long as this asshole is near the suitcase I'll keep the gold. Trust me, the amount of money I had was worth less than a 2010 Corolla so I'm still poor as fuck. But like I said, it will stay where its at. Its got a long way to fall before I'd lose. And if it falls that far that quick, it'll still be worth more than cash.

FF!!!
