Searle, just a simple post from me about the discussion of the past Bank of Enland gold selling after they notified everyone of their intent. << theory of incompetent government bureaucrats >> << well planned international conspiracy.>> I see a structure under governments and commerce that if words were used as descriptors to explain its makeup, then all those words that one would use to describe a fair and healthy and honest free market system would be omitted. I would also say that unlawful and criminal activity words would make up a small number of words to be used because a lot of activity has been legalized. Now I see all those people with money and power understanding that trust and fairness is not the way things are done, but just the opposite is needed to get results and be successful. Under these rules and conditions most of the activity takes the form of a conspiracy to one that is affected in a negative way by events of others. My way of understanding the talk of a conspiracy by governments to make gold disappear is that they did not get together and plan these actions, but thru the way the structure is built under governments and how business is done, gold is an obstacle and needs to be removed. I look at it as a flowing of incorrect activity from a source that itself is incorrect. I disagree that anyone here is naive, but only has great disbelief and extreme amounts of bewilderment in trying to understand why people do as they do. Ifs as if a lot of normal thinking people enter a system that only allows twisted and unhealthy actions to become successful. If so, then eventually that become the normal and the correct code to get things done, and if done long enought everything becomes unhealthy, and smells like a sewer. I mentioned using those not nice words to describe the structure, so now words like incompetent, conspiracy and wrong will be the type of words to describe the results and ongoing process of that structure. doug

<<Bob : I don't say it's an international conspiracy. That's not my thesis. Perhaps the bankers or their pals were short, themselves. Or else, someone wanted to buy a lot of gold at a cheap price and, for whatever reason, they obliged.>> Searle, Perhaps because you are in SA & not here, you have not heard how much Hillary "earned" in cattle futures market here in the US. I say when laws & rules were "overlooked" in one furtues commodity market the same could go on to this very day. I'm hearing rumors to that effect still in the greater Denver & El Paso areas.
