Loading ...I suspect TPTB can’t really control Gold anymore like they used to, but they can very easily still control Silver, the poor mans gold. “Poor men” were abundant before the 1980 exporting jobs regime, and bought silver hand over fist. They are all poorer now, many are stuck with dead money in real estate investments. Not buying Silver.
Gold is bought by big money, like banks gov’ts and wealthy people. I suspect TPTB are pushing Silver down to move gold down in sympathy. I also suspect TPTB moved Silver up to $50 recently to make gold go too high and destabilize the trend. Like an “Indian Wrestling” game.
If you want something to crash, that does not want to crash, just drive it a lot higher.
