<<OTOH, if you know the rules of the game, such as that gold is being artificially held down by the action of the Fed and the CB's, why not become a player>>

Can you please give a link to that web site that lists those "rules"? Can you also PLEASE tell me when it was published, & When did the "current winners " in the gold market know the rules? Were those very rules "published" in a public forum(or were some "investors" simply SCREWED?)?

I think they are hoping that when the time is right, all the baby boomers will not start pulling out all of their wealth at one time .... if they do, there is going to be a big drop in the market at a time when the wealth is most needed -- combined with the inflation that that will create.
