Curious day with gold up marginally and silver down 1%.

We are still seeing the fingerprints of the crooks all over the CRIMEX/options/futures. Obviously they have not been shut down. MAybe they have been told to scale down and let gold move higher, but not too fast. After all the greedy idiots in charge "say" they want inflation.

But it is curious that with the stress in silver, the price is not rapidly increasing. The supposed "investigation" by the inept CFTC should take all of one week. It is into its third month and there does not seem to be any fear of loading up on the short side by the boyz.

My cynicism is creeping back in, but I am still holding onto a ray of hope.
