Gold $1782.40 OFF $7.90

Silver $34.92 OFF $0.27

More western central bank attempted control of the metal prices this morning. Early spikes down following the Comex opening: gold from $1791 to $1779 with silver's spike down from $34.92 to $34.41. These repeated fast dropping price attacks early in the trading session are intended for a wide audience of listeners on their way to work for maximum effect. What these central banksters should be more prepared for in months ahead is the public reaching more for precious metals as increased taxes in the US for 2013 make them more conscious of big brother and start wondering what is coming next. As Martin Armstrong has so firmly indicated, the next bull leg upto new highs will begin to be felt once increased tax burdens wake the public up and they start thinking about their real financial security and tomorrow.
