I think it is a wise move to refuse to sell into the manipulated market AUM is faced with. It makes we wonder about the things we read about how the "paper" gold price is totally disconnected from the prices paid for real "metal" which are supposed to be much higher. AUM, and other producers, are apparently forced to sell at the prices dictated to them by the manipulators of the paper market so there goes another dream out the window. The manipulators are in total control. It appears that our only hope for higher gold prices is to wait until the printers of paper money are forced to peg their paper to some real asset = gold (and/or silver).
