People like Nad-less and Fartman are just shills for the boyz. We have heard and read that public perception is as important as actual market conditions. Recall Break-the-banky's talk regarding rates; something like ...if the the fed raises rates or even threatens to raise rates...
They want the public opinion to be that the metals are too risky, about to fall, not safe, for traders only.
The big-brother propaganda is with us.
