Gold Standard, Gold Futures, and Perception Management

Great little rant/essay on the (alleged) gold+silver market rigging contrasted with the strong fundamental case for the precious metals -- ``Remember, the supply of precious metals is now infinite, according to current futures law, and so the way to achieve $1,200 or even $1,000 or even $600 an ounce is to sell vast quantities of gold into the future at lower prices. For those with deep pockets sitting on lots of cash, PRAY that gold is driven below $1,200 because it will be the trade of the decade to scoop it up at that price. ''
