I carefully watch the gold market, and there are two facts that tell me that the US is manipulating the gold market.

One fact is that the US is printing more and more dollars while increasing the national debt; and the other is that the price of gold is essentially going down when that price should be going up thanks to the printing of more and more unbacked - by gold or silver - dollars.

One good indicator is that the price of gold stocks are not going up, and it's my opinion that the US government is actively selling gold stocks to prevent their stock prices from rising as they should be given the coverall price inflation we are seeing month after month.

The bubble will have to burst, and I don't think the market crash is far off.

The investment banks that execute the policy of the Fed and Treasury have been naked shorting gold mining stocks so that certain privileged companies can acquire these gold companies at bargain basement prices, something called a “stink bid”. Yesterday a Chinese company acquired a significant junior gold miner with a stink bid.

I agree. I was concerned at my mining stocks a year ago. Today I keep purchasing and say the game should continue. The LIVs come in many places. I am very heavy in cyclables, mining stocks, oil and gas. Those really were the sane long term responses to this government and the central banks.

After bullion in hand and other preparations, I believe these are the only investments that will shake out when the dollar finds it's real level. Hopefully not at that of toilet paper.
