LRoggy, if you re-read my post, I not only admitted that I’m no expert on the gold market (or any market), but leaving open the possibility that markets could be manipulated was based on what “some say”.

That all means I don’t claim to know what’s really going on, only what I’ve read/heard what others say; others who themselves claim to know.

BTW, if I really did know what’s going on in the markets, I’d be typing this from some beachfront property in Hawaii, enjoying a glass of fine wine.

Instead of working like a dog, and worrying about where the price of bread, milk, and gas will be next week, I meant to add.

Paulie, none of us little folk are in on it. The best we can do is have a strategy and take what we can from the hints and shadows.

I have an analytical thought process by nature. If something doesn't make sense, I try to piece together a hypothesis to which it's a logical conclusion. Sometimes we get some hints that steer us the right way.
