RE: Shorts In Gold Nothing More Than A Few Large H Thanks for that post. I'm not sure why shorts would focus on shorting gold stocks where I would think it would be easier to manipulate other sectors that are more relevant to the fiscal cliff issue. Maybe the big boys are just letting gold stock prices come down so they can pick up at lower prices before golds next run to $1,800. I expect gold stocks to rally regardless of the overall market within the next couple of days. They can only be played for so long.
