They could but I don't see any reason why they would do that. The fear of running gold up like what happened in the early 1980's wiped out a lot of gold bugs. A friend of mine got very lucky buying at around $175 per ounce and sold out just above $800 per ounce before the market for gold crashed. I don't recall gold ever having a run like that except when a lot of the western economies dropped the gold standard in the early 70's. Wasn't it pegged at $35 per ounce for over 100 years?
