Gold price suppression scheme


I notice that the price ratios between the time spans of differing gold lease rates have been remarkably well behaved lately, almost as if they were locked together in precise bands. I think that this is interesting as hell, although I have no idea what it means, if indeed it means anything, which it probably doesn't, although I will say that those guys setting up spreads (to take advantage of volatility) in gold have gotten financially killed, which I figure in turn benefited the guys who are short all that gold, as that is who I figure is on the other side of the trade when you and I are trying to make a quick buck with some fancy day-trading of options and futures and, of course, the spreads, and they manage to clean us out pretty regularly, the lying, cheating, thieving bastards.

But being naturally suspicious and cynical, I obviously regard that this is just part of the plan on the part of 1: The guys who are short gold, whose total short position is in the range of billions and trillions and quadrillions and zillions and gajillions of dollars for all I know, and 2: central banks who foolishly lent out the nation's gold, at diddly interest rates, as their part of the scheme, and now the Fed has essentially sold (although they call it "leased") half of all our nation's gold, which I seem to recall is the estimate of the Gold Anti-Trust Action committee, who are probably best qualified to know (other than the government or Fed, who know for sure, but both of which refuse to even talk about it!).

In fact, Bill Murphy of GATA says, "The Gold Cartel is running out of available central bank gold to meet surging demand for physical gold. It is the opinion of the GATA camp that the central banks only have half the gold they say they have in their vaults - not the commonly bandied about 30,000 tonne number, but less than 15,000 tonnes."

don't worry, the neo cons will have finished looting our gold before this Nov.
