<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1175410, member: 22143&quot;]I can&#039;t speak to platinum as I am not familiar with it, but I can answer this question in regards to gold.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s not possible to control the price of gold through Comex manipulation because a great deal of physical gold in the world is held as a monetary asset by governments, central banks, and even by large retirement funds.&nbsp;&nbsp; The shorts can never corner the supply as they can with silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Governments are also buying gold these days.&nbsp; Mexico just announced that it bought a 100 tons, and there was even a state retirement fund, I believe, that announced that it took deliver of a billion $s worth of gold.&nbsp;&nbsp; No such equivalent in silver.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Silver = a speculators metal</p><p>Gold = a store of wealth[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
