"Could it be that Viti is something of a George Soros like character? The same George Soros who's innuendos about gold being a bad investment was broadcast while he was secretly accumulating large amounts of bullion?"

Yes. It is entirely possible and that is why I have hated this discussion since it began.

No one on this board can "truly" know the motives of others who post and that is why matters should stay in the realm of facts (such as news releases) or probabilities re statistics, trends in the market place, technical analysis etc. and stay away from private conversations with unknown people expressing opinions loaded with innuendo.

Enough already!
