rumor:

<< The word on COMEX and bullion banks floors these days is that GOLDMAN has an order to buy 25 million GOLD oz by a pool of hedge funds. >>

<< Time will tell but watch the open interest.

One thing is for sure : GOLDMAN bought about one million oz of 2 months 300 calls in the last few days and sold agressively 1 year 340 calls.

This would imply that they see a surge in POG in the next few weeks with a cap due to producers hedging and small CB selling around 330- 340. >>

Assuming the rumor is indeed true. 25,000,000 ounces represents more than a third of the world's annual gold mine production. This would have an electrifying impact upon the gold price - EVEN IF THERE WERE NOT 8,000 TONNES SHORT by greedy bullion banks. There would be panic in the pits to cover these shorts, else we would see 4 to 5 more LTCM hedge fund debacles.

Should this crystallize, there is no way the gold price will limit itself to $330 to $340/oz.
