That's my jpg of it -g- canprice.com Now, gold is a very small market. So, for a while it was manipulated. However, gold is money, as well as a commodity. When you are manipulating it on the short side, you need to be able to deliver it, should it be requested. That happened a lot lately, requests for delivery, manipulators had to leave, and gold zoomed. They still tried to do stuff, such as changing margin requirements many, many times. They don't do that in other markets. Does that surprize you? Historically, they even went as far as to only allow sell orders on comex when they broke the Hunt brothers. The problem with equities is that equities derivatives market itself for equities has zoomed in the past few years, so it now takes a lot more $$$ to control it.
