RE:Thoughst?...KL experts..... BOJ and FOMC I do not profess to being a expert but it seens that when we get into the first notice days and option expiry week that gold does some funny things on the downside. I suppose that is to keep the bullion banks from having to pay out big bucks on their options that they have sold. So that being said I would guess that gold will be hit this week to the downside as I firmly believe that manipulation is rampant in the precious metals. That is just my uneducated opinion and I hope that I am wrong . I would dearly love to see gold testing 1820.00 and in that respect I hope that you are correct in your assumption as you are clearly miles ahead on me in technical analysis. Your opinion in this regard is appreciated.
