RE:Gold nearing a bottom....,, Thanks. Good article. Describes the situation very well. We may be near the bottom that they have manufactured but they will likely do one more major drive-by shooting on gold before they lighten up on the manipulation. What else is the precious metal futures market for? There just doesn't appear to be any way to stop these criminals... they appear to have free rein. They will do this again and again in the future. No maybe...
