Let's look at this through the other end of the telescope for a second. If Britain, Switzerland, the IMF, et all are selling their gold at these fire-sale prices, who's the buyer? Who stands to gain by being able to buy gold at $250 an ounce? Let's find the answer to this, and we'll find the answer to quite a few perplexing questions, methinks. My take: the buyer is the financial organisation now responsible for defending the Euro; what better way to buy cheap reserves to back their paper, make themselves look smart in the process, and end up with the 21st Century "reserve" currency to supplant the dollar. It may be a global economy, folks, but somebody always wants to play "The Other Golden Rule*"
