Because its there for anyone to see. Aside from short term movements in gold and silver, I dont believe in the manipulation stories and dont follow them. I think its just nonsense from sore PM investors to make themselves feel better about the current situation. The major chart support is at $1000 and even stronger support at $700. If a short term manipulation can get us to the bottom faster, I say great. I detached myself from the dogma long ago. So gold can go up for 13 years straight but not a have a down year or 2? C'mon man, that just sounds like whining.
