TMan, the gold deriv event comes later during short squeeze the US Fed has leased 40% of its gold bullion bankers have brokered deals to miners, and others some were sold by same bankers, e.g. JPMorganChase
havent you heard about the 130,000 naked short commercial gold futures contracts? it is the 12,000 lb elephant in the Comex living room
this eyewitness account verifies the sales all leases resulted in sales now the Fed is showing the same sold leased gold as still sitting in its vaults, because technically the Fed still owns that gold like your landlord leasing a house to you only you sold the windows, the back porch, the furniture, the garage, and most of the dirt the landlord now owns a hole, with a plot plan
when gold continues its ascent, the short squeeze occurs and the Fed will call in the gold, which is managed now as a margin account
I didnt say the Fed shipped 40% of US gold reserves to Germany rather 40% of US gold is gone, sold and now we continue to ship gold around with much of it going to Germany so they can continue in the scam all for the purpose of propping up the dollar and euro versus gold
