<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1856316, member: 41780&quot;]The issue isn&#039;t storage fees, with regard to only 5 tons getting repatriated from the Fed the first year.&nbsp; The issue is that the Fed could only provide a measly 5 tons.&nbsp; This adds additional weight to the claims that there is a strain in the physical market and that the Fed has sold or rehypothecated the gold.&nbsp; This tension between the Germans and the Fed may underlie the recent claim by German officials that there is market manipulation in the precious metals -- a warning shot to the Fed that it had better pony up or some inconvenient exposure will be brought to its activities.&nbsp; What I find strange in this forum is how skeptical some members are about manipulation -- when it is clear, to me at least, that <i>all</i> markets are manipulated in illegal ways.&nbsp; When gangsters turn on one another, this stuff tends to happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
