Everyone knows this one SMELL BAD BAD! Figured our friend George S. was in deep on the short squeeze, but didn't want to simply guess out loud. How long until he makes another strike?

You picked up anything that he's talking with Gates? Bet ya Bill Gates is about ready to snap from helping this bunch one day & them going after him the next. It's the big Rumor here in the Denver area, & these same sources were RIGHT when the said a BIG TIME Internet name was getting into silver.

Hallmarking gold jewellery to start soon
Coimbatore
6 DECEMBER
THE BUREAU of Indian Standards (BIS) is in the process of finalising testing centres to launch its ambitious venture of hallmarking gold jewellery, according to a senior BIS official.
“Some laboratories have been identified at Bangalore, Hyderabad and Coimbatore and modalities are being worked out to establish the testing centres,” said B Santhosh Rao, deputy director general, BIS – southern region.
Recognition would be granted to these centres after ensuring that these were following international norms of sampling and testing and that they also had adequate facilities, and trained and competent manpower, Mr Rao said.
The principal objectives behind instituting a credible system of assaying and hallmarking were to protect consumers against victimisation of “irregular” gold quality, with increasing awareness towards the high valued metal of which India was the largest global consumer, he said. — PTI
