I wasn't sure what to expect this morning for the POG. Although the manipulators seem to be stuck in a somewhat predictable pattern they always seem to be able to suprise me. My unprofessional observation tells me that most of the time we get three consecutive up days to build up investor confidence and a sufficient number of speculator stops. While doing this they also get the last of their shorts covered and build up some ammo to dump on the market at the appropriate time. The thing I like about this morning it seems that our up days seem to be bouncing higher than the previous rebounds. Are they deliberately trying to paint a predictable pattern for the big smackdown before February delivery? Only time will tell.
