RE: Why is SBB going down? This is a tough one to answer since certain important facts are not made available to the public - facts such as how much shorting of stocks has been undertaken by the bullion banks and what is really going on within the LBMA. Hopefully by now you realize that the price of gold has and continues to be suppressed by the LBMA because people in the West have enabled this supression by being content to own non-existent paper gold. The LBMA is doing this to prop up the bond market by keeping interest rates as low as possible. If interest rates were to double, government after government would be forced to default on their obligations. With prices for gold suppressed, profits for the mainline producers are limited, and so are their stock prices - from which all other gold stocks such as SBB are valued by the market. Further, the mainline producers are being shorted by the bullion banks in order to scare away as much interest in these stocks as possible - and as you can see, their plan is working reasonably well (so far). At some point though, this scam will unravel, and when it does, it will be whopper. As owning gold seems to be the retirement plan of choice for the Chinese, if allowed, the Chinese will eventually buy all the gold that is available in the world.
