		<description>&quot;But the bottom line is; a bottom in early to mid 2010; as I said, June, around $550 to $650. More important than the price; is the time to buy. THAT will be the time to blindly buy, and add to positions on pull-backs.&quot;

Oh you are the most clueless guy on gold i know actually. I know several well connected investors as well as since decades successful traders following Gann and Cycles - and i can only say: either you are a payed affiliate of da gold cabal - or you are just absolutely clueless on golds fundamentals and what is going on beneath the surface. So just this to your subscribers: Anybody short gold and hoping for prices below 850 (or 900 in my opinion) again will get badly badly burned.
Of course not investment advise and always DYOD!</description>

		<description>A good summation of the manipulation of the gold and silver commodities markets by two or three big U.S. banks (who are now recipients of the TARP taxpayer-financed bailout funds) can be found as an answer (by &quot;Jeff&quot;--answer #2, scroll down) to an article suggesting that gold should now be short sold at http://www.investmentu.com/IUEL/2009/February/shorting-gold2.html?o=1652087&amp;u=7445297&amp;l=1605124 .

I have long considered this big-bank manipulation of the silver market, in particular, to be a key element in sustaining, or propping up, the value of otherwise worthless government currency.   This process, in fact, must be ongoing to preserve the illusion that silver (and gold) is merely a commodity (and not money).  If silver were to surface as a monetary instrument, it would be &quot;all she wrote&quot; for the government currencies of the world.
 
By maintaining their massive short positions in silver, and adding to them at critical moments to shake out would-be long investors, silver continues to be artificially depressed, maintaining the supremacy of government currency.   Industrial destruction of silver thus can continue until the silver stocks of our ancestors, built up through centuries of thrift, can be forever erased from existence (practical recovery being impossible from waste and sea water, and the discovery of future &quot;bonanza&quot; deposits being highly doubtful).  This process is the essential machination of J.M. Keynes&#039; hatred of silver money (and that of other medievalists born and sworn to the service of kings and their government currencies), his desire to see it forever effaced from existence, leaving mankind again and forever at the mercy of kings and tyrants.
 
This process is now being continued, as &quot;Jeff&quot; points out, at taxpayer expense, as these two or three large banks are presumably major TARP recipients.

How can this destructive process be ended?  I am confident that it shall continue until the exchanges themselves are closed down by physical withdrawal, and physical shipment out of storage at New York and other government controlled banks, of the metals in question (silver and gold).
   
Who is in a position to do this?  For one, some foreign governments can, those which are philosophically alienated from the U.S. but upon which the U.S. depends for resources or to help it &quot;roll over&quot; its monstrous debt (Russia, China, Venezuela and Iran for openers).  Private citizens also may attempt this (although they generally will be subject to future re-confiscation by government G-men acting under future emergency edicts or legislation empowering gun-toting agents to drag off, even torture, those who hold metals and are made known to the government by informers and &quot;paper trails&quot;).

So, yes, these silver market manipulators can--and inevitably will--be beaten, but only by people clever enough, or powerful enough, to avoid the pitfalls.  Unfortunately, the great mass of humanity, foolish enough to buy into the agenda of government currency lock, stock and barrel, will be the thorough losers in the coming transition.   I highly suspect that the mean American household has less than a single silver dollar (or its equivalent in their physical possession), as opposed to their American ancestors who, only 110 years ago, probably had a mean of approximately 25 silver dollars (including fractional silver coins such as dimes, quarters and half-dollars) at their fingertips.

I further suspect that, after the government&#039;s inevitable, forthcoming attempt at confiscation of all silver and gold money, only a handful of rich families, who live &quot;above&quot; the powers of the confiscators--and a few extremely thoughtful and careful individuals who have amassed their silver/gold wealth without &quot;tipping their hand&quot; to those around them, or, of course, the government thru &quot;paper/electronic trails&quot;--will hold the concentrated silver/gold wealth of an entire nation (or the fragments of that nation).   At least 95% of the American population, I suspect, will emerge completely destitute of silver and gold money at that time--simply because they either explicitly or implicitly trusted the folly of the silver-hating (government-currency-loving) J. M. Keynes.</description>
