Confidence in the PM sector, by means of high volumes will overcome any controls that are supposedly in place.
When was the last time ECU traded in excess of 5% of its shares in any given session?
NEVER!
15million + shares still only accouints for just over $30 million "phony money" changing hands.
Goldcorp trades that much just about every hour (3 million shares = approx $240 million changing hands).
Even Goldman Sachs, the "biggest baddest guys in town" showed the confidence to trade over 4 million shares yesterday ($1.3 billion changing hands).
Lets face it! Until confidence in the PM sector improves, those that can manipulate, will manipulate. And they will make money? doing it.
However, making money is not their main concern at this time.
Preventing a meltdown of FIAT is what TPTB are concerned with, because once Gold and Silver (and PM shares) start to trade "in a frenzy", those now in control will lose their "golden goose"; that is, the ability to inflate/steal, via printing and/or interest rate manipulation.
When that happens, and it will eventually, everyone, including you and I, will experience a completely different way of life, and , for the majority,it will not be pleasant.
Suggest everyone be patient, buy bullion and PM shares, and get ready for when TSHTF.
Good Luck to all!
