Now there's a sign of desparation! This is the essence of an intervention. Hitting gold in the thinly traded after hours market is classic. They couldn't get gold down during COMEX hours, so hit it when nobody is looking. They could keep doing this until every gold mine is closed and nobody wants to buy futures, because futures is what was used here to slam the market. Let's be clear here. The US dollar is as good as dead, and the Fed has shot all its monetary arrows. All they have left is intervention after intervention using derivatives. They hope to keep gold under $1000 until the July contract and then we are in the thinly traded summer session. They can hammer it down then to the 800's. It doesn't matter: gold on mainstreet is $C1900 now. All the time spot gold has been going down, real gold has been going UP.
