J.S. Kim of the Underground Investor and the SmartKnowledgeU investment system has posted a wonderful article about central bank and investment bank manipulation of both the precious metals and the precious metal mining stocks, and particularly about the volatility the banks inject into those markets to discourage investors and keep them in overvalued general equities. Kim's commentary cites GATA and many of our heroes. It's headlined "The Surprising Truth About the Volatility of Gold and Silver Mining Stocks" and you can find it at the Underground Investor here:
