Good afternoon Ron,

>>It's pretty clear to me Richard. The CB's are manipulating the gold market to the downside in order to correct their artificial support of gold for decades.<<

How much gold did the CB's own before gold started it's climb from $35.00 oz. ?? I am trying to figure out just how much they had to do with the big rise, as my understanding was that investment demand was the biggest factor.

>>They had to deflate the gold market gradually rather than letting it reflect a true market value.<<

Is there not a natural supply deficit without CB sales ?? would not the true market value be higher ??

>>So is it manipulation?? You bet. Is it any worse than the manipulation that has artificially distorted the POG instead of letting it correct(crash?) naturally??<<

I do not believe that gold was manipulated up, but rose due to heavy demand, which is quite different.

Your thoughts.....

Rich
