brutus, another great link!

"For many gold investors this must feel like an anxious and long wait. Repeatedly we hear tales of how the global collapse is imminent and gold is going through the roof. Then a central policy maker pulls yet another rabbit out of the bag and we have to remind ourselves that it is just another trick and illusion."

All I can tell you is, I continue to use these times of low prices, IMO, to methodically add to my physical gold and silver inventory. If you think we are the ones really in the shadow of manipulated prices think again with some simple perspective, they are in an ominous shadow of building paper promises to deliver the physical metals that just do not exist. Now, who is in the driver's seat? Is there any wonder why they'll do anything to keep prices down? My question is, what happens when an event or series of events unleash demand for the physical stuff?
