If the Ministry of Truth has manipulated gold this long, what's to say it can't any longer? All roads lead to Airstrip One and gold stocks will continue to get hammered as long as the TBTF banks and the Fed run the show. The painful reality is we've listened to the Jim Sinclairs and Doug Casey's, drank the KoolAid and suffered huge losses. Lots of drownings swimming against the crowd this time around and if there aren't any new buyers for all the paper this company in particular has floated over the years, how is the price going to recover without being manipulated?
