Just look at how gold was controlled last night - a toeken rise of about 0.5% - while the US Dollar getting smashed by more than 1% to below 80.
Of course as part of the manipulation HUI gold stocks were not allowed to roar ahead, with the HUI actually falling 2 points to 365.
But have a look at these price rises last night.
Copper up 3.84% Nickel 3.68% Aluminium 6.40% Zinc 2.82% Lead 4.53%
Those are the sorts of rises you get in a market where where every dollar rise is not fought tooth and nail with naked paper shorting.
In an honest society gold price manipulators would be prosecuted and thrown into gaol; those in a regulatory position who failed to carry out the word of law and allowed blatant manipulations to carry on would also be prosecuted and thrown into gaol.
