RE: pog manipulation? ESTE---The problem is not convincing people the price of gold is manipulated.
The world already knows. That is exactly why no one is buying gold
except gold bugs and countries. The countries hide their purchases to
hold the price down while they accumulate. The sellers ---Western Central Banks---
are shorting gold to hold the price down and make their fiat currencies look better,
as well as direct cash flows to equities (no safe havens allowed). This is certainly
not a formula for a rising gold price. Even the producers do not seem to
be fighting back.
