just the US trying to hold on to their economic status. its only a matter of time til china and india take over as the worlds most important economies. holding back gold just means a more meteoric rise when it does break out. it will happen just a matter of time. there are some parallels here with the sp of probe as the retail investors resolve has not allowed the manipulators to take us down. we know what we have here and only a proper payday will loosen our grip on our shares. so the manipulators like space cowpatty yoyo between short and long but in effect they are only playing with themselves. 2013 will see a breakout in both gold and probe. ps hope the updated resource for probe happens early next week or not until 2013.
