This would be funny if it wasn't so infuriating. Gold and silver breaking lower as expected with the dollar getting a boost to make the take down look somewhat legitimate. How predictable.

Reminds me of the old story of the mathematician and the professional gambler being asked what the odds would be of a crap shooter rolling snake eyes after snake eyes has come up 6 times in a row. Bet for or against. The mathematician figures 1 chance in 36, therefore an almost certain chance it won't happen again. Make the bet.

The professional gambler, however, says it's a certainty that snake eyes will be rolled again, a sure thing, since only loaded dice behave like this. Make that bet. If I had the big bucks, that's the way I'd play this loaded market.
