<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1720119, member: 41780&quot;]I think there is a tendency to oversimplify and blame manipulators when the silver price falls, partly because it assuages the ego in such times.&nbsp; However, and again this is my view, I see all markets as manipulated by large banking institutions, to some degree, in a way that is <i>probably</i> technically illegal.&nbsp; I also think, because gold and silver are anticorrelated with the dollar, there is likely an interest is suppressing their price to boost the dollar when it is felt the value of the dollar is too low or needs support (let me also add that there may be times when the dollar is deliberately devalued, as when QE or the talk of it takes place).&nbsp; A rise in the price of gold in particular tends to bring a lot of bad publicity to the Fed, which can (in theory) easily print money to naked short gold to divert attention away from itself.&nbsp; This is what I suspect happens, though I have no proof of it.&nbsp; At the very minimum, by propping up the dollar when it needs to be propped up (or by devaluing it), one can say gold and silver are indirectly manipulated due to being dollar anticorrelated assets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
