Jim Sinclair always puts it into perspective:

“Try meditating on the concept of “Currency Induced Cost Push Hyperinflation,” rather than loading your pants over gold banks manipulation full of sound and fury, but meaningless in the great scheme of things.”

"So, (I say to myself) all our angst over the bullion banks BS is really mice nuts stuff with respect to the big hammer out there, Sinbob old buddy!"….”GOLD”.

The bad guys only have paper. It burns.

“Meanwhile, (Jim conitinues) gold and the gold shares decline during a paper operation that is clearly supported by strategically generated headlines. No one cares to notice that the retest of May lows is occurring on a fraction of the volume created during their initial formation. This lack of participation suggests waning downside energy.”

“Reality is up for grabs. Today’s casino-style markets profit from confusion, misdirection, and degree of difficulty in reading the message of the markets.”…like SFMI/JPM/PM shareholders who get taken out by the misdirection and spin of the shorts ... and fear mongering .
