Thanks @[Harry Dent](user:5932), I hadn't expected a #Trump win, but once he did, I had thought the markets would crash and #gold to skyrocket. Thanks for putting some clarity on the situation. But what about @[Gary Tanashian](user:4809)'s comment below?

By "missing," he means mortgage loans that lenders would have made, if reasonable lending standards were in place. But since they weren't, the loans weren't made. Here's the link the author included which explains this in more depth:
