I just mentioned the share price to my why wife. She said, why what happened, isn't gold doing a little better? Here's what I told her: There's alway a potential group of people who lie in wake waiting for a good run-up on a public participated push or who have a large position and then they short the hell out of the shares and drive the price down. I told her, it's like locking the enthusiasts into a cage and then throwing them over the cliff and enjoy watching them suffer as their net worth tumbles. These miscreants are just sociopaths, I told her.

Martin Armstrong has spoken of this in so many words and he's pretty smart. The fund manager Paulson had a very large position in a Egyptian gold miner and Armstrong said, he could easily become a target. As it turned out, Armstrong was right.

I told my wife there use to be pools years ago that did short raids like these with great success. She then asked, aren't there regulators that watch for these types of things? I said, yea when they want to. She said how could that be? I said, welcome to the new world.
