Then they get to pay. What do the winners want, gold for cash? How many will stand for delivery? If most option winners want cash, then no worries, print some up. If some want gold, then the winners get to stand in line and wait for delivery like all the other contracts that stand for delivery. Delayed of course.
I'm sure all the elitists have their bullion, probably have for years. Bullion Bank gold has simply been a tool to support the Dollar, and all other fiat currencies for that matter. Also to brainwash the public into believing it's a barbaric relic of the past. To control gold rallies, making sure gold never draws any attention from stocks and bonds which are constantly touted on TV as the place to be.
How many in America still have no knowledge of gold's purpose? Sure, gold is finally making some news, but holy cow, surely not enough to make people want it more than stocks. Why is the stock market going up? Why is it manipulated? To fool everyone, just like everyone is still fooled about gold.
