The system’s GLD makes it too easy for non gold people, to get in and get out of Gold without actually having any. GLD imo, is like the futures market. Effecting prices by “voting” the price. Another term or view or description I’ve never seen in financial media, “voting” the price with their minds, and not with their FEET going to or clicking the bullion dealers.
BTW, SSRM $2.7 bil cap, is merging with ALIAF, $2.1 bil cap, but you probably already know?
