The most interesting part, Gold Short Sellers moving in contra to the price of gold elsewhere is not fleshed out other then to say “the Fed and the short sellers are old friends”..but a market will make a dollar, where is the specific collusion?
It’s the same problem with Gold, the market is too shallow and easily manipulated.
Revaluation of gold, and a return to the gold standard, is the only way that hyperinflation can be avoided while large numbers of paper currency units are released into the economy. This is because most of the rise in prices can be filtered into gold. As the asset value of gold rises, it will soak up excess dollars, euros, pounds, etc., while the appearance of an increased number of currency units will stimulate investor psychology, and lending and economic output will increase, all over the world. Ben Bernanke and the other members of the FOMC Committee must know this, because it is basic economics.
