RE:Price of gold and TMMnot sure but dont think they would sell the gold at a loss as other producers would put their gold mining on standby. you end up with hardly any gold mined and central banks could sell their gold at a loss . this turns into short selling all over to make a profit , isnt that how it works to try and make a profit . legitimate co trying to make a profit vs an iligitimate short sellers market trying to make a profit .
