"Normally one would expect gold to get wacked with option expiry this week,they would normally use the fall of tripoli to yell the all safe signal and smack gold. We will see who wins this week but normally it would be down but times are a changin."

Looks like the reg moves as the cartel let a few more specs sign on before taking them out before option expiry, looks like they are using the world is safe as Tripoli falls the catalyst for this. If you know the cartels moves you can make money.

Same old same old- lets see who wins this round, we usually move back up again although if nothing comes out of Jackson holer on more QE they will smack it again saying the inflation trade is over.....buy the dips, we could see even lower prices but it seems their hits are getting less bang for their buck.
