why did gold plummet?, page-7

Personally I think it was a sysematic shorting attack. No mentioned last week of gold dropping to $1100, $1000 or less. Yet this week every man and his dog are bagging it. The mass media is full of it. I'd say the shorters have seen how gold didn't react to Cyrus or the Boston attack and decided to sell it down, trigger stop losses and then get their paid for media commentators to bag it.

Many will say that's a fanciful story. But the media has certainly been whipping up panic about the falling gold price. Todays media is certainly not unbiased opinion. Most of it is paid for commentary.

P.S. I'm by no means a gold bull but what has happened this week certainly looks like a well planned attack.
