Gold is commonly viewed as a safe haven investment and is often used as a hedge against currency issues or an equity downturn. The price of gold acts more as a currency than an commodity, as it usually moves more in correlation with fiat currencies than with other commodities.
Obama defeated Romney, winning both the popular vote and the electoral college, with 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206. He became the eleventh President and third Democrat to win a majority of the popular vote more than once.
Now that all the primaries and caucuses are over we can take one, final look. Obama won more total votes than Clinton in the contests where they both appeared on the ballot. Clinton won the popular vote only if you count votes from Michigan, where Obamaâs name did not appear on the ballot. Any way you cut it, the candidatesâ vote totals are within less than 1 percent of each other.
