"Should one follow the paper manipulators or an exchange that is actually backed by gold?"
Pretty bloody obvious.
Gold price is set by price on the CME. Whether you like it or not. You understand this , or you don't, you fight them, or try and think like them (and if you choose to fight them, you will be crushed like a tiny ant). As have most LTBH gold players here, seeing papr profits vaporized.
I can't put it any more clearly.
Do you get it? Simple yes, or no will suffice.
If not (and I suspect you don't), play in another casino. Crown, Tatts, TAB, whatever,...
