RE: Gold getting slaughtered todayNon-Farm Payrolls Report (NFP) this coming Friday, and on cue the crooks are taken the metals down. Which tells me the NFP coming out this Friday will again be dismal, and with it, the PM to spike-up afterwards.
This is a common tactic used by the banksters to knock gold down before such announcements as the Comex Option Expiry, FOMC, NFP, and any other key event so as to managed the POG without it going parabolic, which would blow-up their paper gold scam.
