RE: gold halted?...............I can't see any machinations at this point.....I mean if gold was at 450 and rocketing out of control...maybe...but at 315?
If anything Greenspan would probably love to see gold at 350+ it would signal to him that he is winning the war against deflation
Of course that could be wishful thinking
was reading prechter's "conquer the crash"....guess during the last silver rush
the trade was caught short..everyone else was long....so the trade was going to get massacred...so what they did was shut things down and put in new rules saying you couldn't buy silver
i.e. you could only sell
now THAT is as ugly as it gets...but again I don't see that
here...the major underpinning of gold demand has been the mines themselves....and that shouldn't concern the "authourities"
ah even as I speak gold seems to be trading again
