Think what you want about the USA but one thing I can't imagine them ever doing is to fix the pog again. Certainly that would freak a lot of folks around the world out. Personally, I think that would spell the end of the USD and perhaps even the USA.

Remember that a lot of American's hold gold and there are a lot of American companies that mine gold and America has a lot of gold. Such blatant market fixing is almost communist and is totally against the American creed. Yes, it's been done before but that was when the American dollar was pegged to gold so it was different.  Totally different.

Does the USA and central banks manipulate gold and stock markets. Absolutely. But they can't be proven to do it. It's like gay relationships amongst Republicans. 

As for all this chatter about manipulation, even if it is, gold is still going up and tomorrow it's going up more again. Another 2 dollar rise in GLD spells a big breakthrough for gold on my charts as well and if it does hit $94.00 I think we'll see gold move above $1000 again.
