It is highly probable that today and tomorrow could be the last two days to position portfolios for spectacular volatility leading to financial upheaval. As I stated in my recent post, next week is my expected upside explosion for gold and silver. The price targets for the corrections in both have been met. The stock market which I have been agnostic  but short term bullish on since the October lows, is extended and ready for at minimum a sharp correction. If you have gains in stocks other than mining stocks it would be prudent to take profits or at least hedge for a correction. If you are light on mining shares and or gold and silver bullion, add now. Maybe next week comes and goes with nothing major occurring, what would taking some action today or tomorrow cost you? One doesn’t have to go all or none. Trim stock exposure and add precious metal and mining exposure. At best, I am wrong about next week, at worst, we could see financial upheaval even more dramatic than the 1987 stock crash. That episode passed by in a relatively short time, this expected turmoil may linger for a lot longer.
