That was pretty anemic attack Mooseslayer and I suspect that they would never stop this soon if they could keep it dropping, doesn't fit with the cartel profile once the game is afoot. Seems all dips are buying opps for the last few weeks which is a huge difference from earlier this summer when all rises were sold. One can never be sure with the HFT and Crimex criminals but the odds are greatlt in our favour as they have been for many weeks that higher is the direction.

The cartel has pretty much got everyone trained in the gold community to see ghosts and look over their shoulder constantly even though gold is over $1700, it's somewhat understandable given the volatility the last few years and how they have decimated the gold shares. From my perspective I see nothing but oppotunities in gold/silver equities and have felt this way for a long time as you know. It's amazing that the gold community has been so well trained with gold so successful, I suspect if we weren't so well trained these criminals couldn't have accomplished what they have the last couple of years.

BTW, I don't agree with recent over bought comments about the COT or comments on the size of shorts of the banksters, we seem to have forgotten that the best/biggest moves in gold tend to happen when over bought conditions become extreme and the COT report is a long way from this at present. There is also a huge amount of room for more open interest expansion based on past numbers. I so want to see the banksters over run if even for a short time as in August of 2011. The old 2 steps forward one step back is still my favourite step and I suspect we will see this many times over the next few years.
