re: recap Thank you - for all of us, very nice post. I wonder if Buffet would like to help GATA??? Would that scare the doodie out of the manipulators?

re: recap of W. Buffet silver "manipulation" Silver choppy in late Europe trade, gold soft LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Silver swung within a 15 cent range during European business on Thursday, bottoming at $5.40 an ounce amid volatile lease rates which kept market participants guessing, dealers said. Gold softened in range despite fresh dollar weakness versus the yen and U.S. data showing national wages growth outpacing productivity gains during the second quarter, a signal of possible inflation. Silver lending during early European trade knocked spot prices to $5.40 where fresh buying emerged to reverse the move. ''One bank lent silver this morning, causing the spot to drop. The reason they did I think was to buy spot back,'' said one London dealer who pegged silver's resistance at $5.56. ''It will take a few sessions to get through that but it will. Technically, it looks very good,'' he said. (cont) biz.yahoo.com This quote interests me: "''One bank lent silver this morning, causing the spot to drop.

Could the term "manipulation" be based on the side taken by the "blind trusts" of those in office?
