From last night's Midas:

"The HUI had a 6% correction yesterday morning out of nowhere and closed very close to its lows yesterday. Once again Gold was hit at 3 a.m. the following morning (today January 27th, 2009) along with the euro and crude oil. February Gold options expired today and one more time Gold and/or Silver settled right at the round number. Option market makers (short sellers) once again cleaned up on this particular strike price on both sides of expiration. Any entity who was short the 900 strike price who also made trades which helped old converge towards $900 or the HUI to correct yesterday should be investigated under U.S. securities laws for manipulation. If this was an official intervention any one trading on that inside information should be investigated for insider trading. Where is the transparency and change that we have been promised?"
