I have a simple question the answer(s) to which would probably be of interest to others here as well. We read that when the gold price drops dramatically as a result of manipulation buyers in China, Russia, India et al are buying. My question is - who is selling? The sellers of large quantities of gold must be even more aware than we are of the predictions like those in KWN that this is a short term drop in price and that much higher prices are almost certain to be available in the relatively short term future. So why would they sell rather than hold on for those higher prices to come?
