RE:12000 gold contracts dumped on friday, manipulation obvious.Baranja, I'm with you man. Except it can go as long as traders and investors continue to have confidence that GLD is actually a 100% claim on all the gold you own. Until they invest in physical, or sprott holdings (PHYS=Sprott Gold holdings) this can go for awhile. Use this time to accumulate ultra cheap mining stocks and juniors. The pain is almost over. The new rally will begin soon!
