mining hedgers have a cozy relationship with central bankers
I believe the Fed has offered gaurantees to mining firms
the biggest single buyers in London in early April were mining firms
what incredible irony!!!
mining firms are buyers of gold on the world market
utterly absurd for mismanagement
I dont know why Barrick shareholders dont file class action lawsuit

but some degree of unwinding of miner hedging will go smoothly as central banks come forward with the precious gold and allow it to be sold to bail their partners out

a 3-way corrupt relationship has persisted
Central Bankers -- Bullion Bankers -- Hedged Miners
CB lease out gold, lie as to reserves
they allow our national reserves to be depleted at low prices
BB lease out gold and sell short huge naked gold futures
they orchestrate the market suppression, being the professinonals
HM produce at cost so as to keep leasing to minimum
they offer legitimacy to excessive selling, as producers

all three will get burned
I still think JPMorgan will fight hard to avoid bankruptcy
what most people forget is that the Gold Cartel has had to suppress two things:
GOLD, obviously (and lilbrother SILVER)
shorterm interest rates
JPM is set up to lose big money in the gold short squeeze
but also in the rising rate environment

Greenspan expertly developed in his research article the tight relationship between gold and shorterm rates
as gold jumps in price, so will TBill yields
it wont be pretty
one cannot suppress one without suppressing the other
actually, it is a 3-way relationship
GOLD -- TBill YIELD -- USDOLLAR

as the dollar slides, gold will jump, and rates will rise
then comes the Fed Gold Scandal
gonna be ugly
and I dont think Main Street investors have a clue what lies ahead
