"Should I Stay or Should I Go?"

Darlin' you got to let me know

During the 1970s, The Clash pushed rock and roll to the edge. Their hard charging, explosive, and anger-filled style, inspired spiked hair, rocked generations and forced people to question conventional thinking.

Along the way, they rocked the casbah. They called London. They got lost in a super market and then they went straight to hell.

For many – The Clash was the only band that mattered.

For investors, they are more – much more.

Today, as investors around the world become increasingly anxious, one of the greatest Clash songs of all time is making a comeback. In board rooms, on trade desks, in living rooms and around kitchen tables – investors everywhere are nervously singing "Should I Stay or Should I go." Stock market investors are nervous. Housing market investors are nervous. Gold and oil investors are nervous. US Dollar and Euro investors are nervous too.
