I actually didn't hear Jeff C. say that Baires. Please tell me where in the interview he said that. I did hear him say the price could go to 5000 or 10000, but that wouldn't necessarily mean that increase was a result of a conspiracy.
I said it here before and will say it again, Murphy is a boob. He is not a good spokesman for GATA and sounds like an irrational nut. I knew this debate would not turn out well for him or GATA. Murphy had no logical rebuttals to Christian's points, and for good reason. What was lost in this debate was the excessive shorts held by Christian's clients like JPM, but because Murphy doesn't know how to wage a debate, it was completely glossed over.
GATA does themselves and gold/silver a disservice by insisting that the government is complicit in this vast conspiracy. Why set your sights so high? Wouldn't the fact that JPM is monopolizing the market be enough? There's price fixing everywhere- I could argue that keeping interest rates at zero is price fixing.
