The Crimex manipulators are hard at work taking advantage of the options expiry, futures roll overs, profit taking, weak hands who jumped on board, tax loss selling, year end book closing, ect.

Bless their hearts for all the hard work they do hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Nothing scares the adverage investor more and takes the wind out of his sails faster than watching a months worth of hard gains disappear in a matter of a few days. It is all just messing with investors minds. Anyone with just a little analytical experience and common sense looking at the gold charts the last few days, especially, should be laughing his ass off and asking himself what free markets are actually left.

None.

Nothing but manipulations. However the manipulators can only delay the inevitable. In doing so they make the final outcome even worse, for those not prepared anyways.

This is the same B.S, they pull every year around this time, nothing more and it as usual should end sometime around the middle of this month.

The mining stocks have given back a chunk of their gains but on only a very small fraction of the volume it took them to get up there in the first place. That must mean that most investors are holding firm. Those speculators who have sold to take advantage of this small downturn will no doubt be chasing the mining stocks higher start of the new year.

All in my honest opinion of course.

F.F.
