And these stupid little $1 $2 and $4 moves? Lets think positive. If the idiots running things are holding prices down, lets assume its costing them in one way or another. The way they buy bonds to hold rates lower?
Well the dimwits are probably selling parts of their Gold holdings just to hold prices back, and not embarrass their paper tiger Fed Note Dollar looking like garbage when it took $1900 of those little things to buy an ounce of gold.
They, banks, probably bought plenty on the highs back when the news was stating such. I think they purposely ran gold high on the COMEX to bring in needed supply.
