well i suppose, a round of surprise CB dumping would do the trick for a bit as well, agreements or no agreements, or at least the rumour of such.
at some point, the bet is that gold will, via the market speaking, play its historical role. when, has been the only remaining question for fundamentalists on the case...
japan appears to have reversed itself recently by dumping 500k oz last week... I think, now that they have proven the metal is not in fact dead in Japan, once the realization comes alive again, that wealth preservation will not occur unless individuals act (buy gold), those 500koz won't have much meaning.
outright barring the ownership of gold i suppose is another govermental answer of last resort, though i suspect the outcry would be enormous and would lead to questions few want asked. certainly Ron Paul could be counted on for a daily gold rap at that point seems to me.
until the case changes, what's left to do but tweak the position, collect some divvies, and suffer extreme patience. |
