Hank Paulson is supposed to hold a press conference this afternoon at 3:00 pm. In the past, his "presence" caused PM's to get shelled without remorse. However, the fact that the markets are still crashing despite Hank's series of extreme efforts might indicate his power in waning.
Therefore, we will see how gold and silver perform before, during, and after Hank's little speech today. It could well be a reasonable indicator of gold cartel strength or lack of it.
