RE: They want to stop us from buying gold!When was the last time you had 25,000 contracts in gold futures? or Wheat or oil etc?
I see it as trying to dampen raw speculation where profits are made out of thin air. Traders are currently controlling the gold market. IMHO.
What I don't want to see is reinstatement of the regulation to prevent private citizens owning physical gold. or stocks of gold companies. . Gold is one of the few ways to protect your assets against "Fiat" money( i.e government issued paper banknotes)
gina all IMHO
