It seems to me that if there really is a Gold shortage (which appears like these certainly might be), then someone is shorting the Gold (and Silver) market to extremes. Also the US Government is closing their eyes to this fact.

Supposedly, the Gold in Fort Knox is reported to be at 147 million ounces, or $1.3 Trillion. I would not be surprised if there was NO Gold in the vault and the US Government knows and encourages this short position.

Whats your opinion?
