You caught me in a misstatement. I don't know the rules of the game.

Of course, your point is that investors are getting screwed while governments manipulate and destroy the "free" market for gold.

Again, I don't know all of the mechanics, but I firmly believe that many world powers are against gold so that they can convince the world that paper currency has some inherent value, and does not need any backing.

I also feel that the CBs are going to drive the price down, buy at the low, allow supply and demand to drive gold back up towards $300 and then sell to drive the price down again. Since there is supposed to be a significant shortage in gold produced, versus demand, it should be pretty easy for the CBs to do.

So, here I sit, trying to find the bottom of this latest CB gold cycle. I am thinking of picking up a partial position of Fidelity Select Gold Mutual Fund within the next week.
