this essay is entitled "last chance to board gold train at under $1,000." he mentions that the proposed imf gold sale of 403 tons will be included in the washington agreement, and it will be a non-factor (for other reasons as well.)
of particular interest to us, he describes the 20% takedown of silver from $21 as coming when open interest on the comex was declining, which made it even more difficult for the bullion banks.
