GATA, if correct, might have truth on its side, but the government has the court and laws and law makers Yep... I've never ruled out the possibility of a short squeeze, but I have no illusions as to the global economic damage that may result. And I just can't believe that GS would show their hand so blatantly. We'll see.. but I'm not going to get excited about gold as an alternative investment until I see some more evidence. Besides shorting the market works just as well. I can think of a number of better ways to make a 20% gain than putting my money into gold. And short squeezes often find themselves creating more damage to the underlying market after everone's covered. Then you have nothing but sellers left. Regards, Ron
