U.S. Dollar at a Crossroads – Is Gold’s Rise Poised to End?

The US dollar has passed the event horizon. Gold will eventually go to the moon.

Gold Price Manipulation: So What?

From a narrow standpoint, you may be right. From a broader standpoint, the problem is that if the manipulation ends in a blow-up, a lot of people will get hurt. Taxpayers for one, because the banks who are short and have to cover en masse will get bailed out, particularly if they're acting as central bank proxies. Force majeur will be declared on the commodity exchanges, so those who thought they could take delivery of bullion will receive paper instead. All of this will further erode confidence in what is already a shaky system. It therefore matters a great deal if the gold price is being manipulated.
