A puzzling scenario happening in the US gold sector when liquidity in the broader markets is open to the moon, gold is surging and silver is surging even more. So what gives??? Now the gold shares can under perform the metal at times when liquidity dries up but this is not the case. There are two reasons from what I can see for under performance and one is the possibility of heavily sold underwater hedges. The other reason is the fraudsters may be entering (or increasing) gold shares on the short side to cap the price after they were blown up in the gold market.Considering that they are buying junk bonds and zombie corporate paper then nothing is beyond them in an attempt at keeping the appearance off the markets in "good health" so they may have decided that they'll cap gold stocks in an attempted hope of holding or mitigating gold buying and or keeping the gold stock canary strait jacketed. It wasn't very long ago that anybody who called gold price manipulation was called a loony. The fraudsters will do anything to "keep up appearances"
