Gold is a small market, easy to manipulate. The gold bugs claim some major banks have a position in derivatives that require around $300/oz in the fall, who knows. I did notice when Ron Paul tried to question Greenspan on gold manipulation they suddenly ran out of time.

Wasn't there an attempt to corner the silver market a while back? IIRC, they almost pulled it off.

This is a major reason the metal should not be monetized.
