<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 637037, member: 13650&quot;]It&#039;s called market manipulation.&nbsp;&nbsp; If what&#039;s happening doesn&#039;t make sense, there&#039;s probably a good reason.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Here&#039;s a long but good article I read this morning.&nbsp; There&#039;s a part 2 at the bottom.</p><p>&nbsp; <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article11948.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article11948.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article11948.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Skim through it if you wish or read the whole thing.&nbsp; Some interesting numbers that some have come up with that fly in the face of what you&#039;ll hear on the news.&nbsp; &nbsp; (i.e. GDP at -5% and has been in negative territory since 1994)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Maybe it won&#039;t happen in our lifetimes but I think eventually, PM prices will be unleashed once the train goes off the rails.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe we need to see hyperinflation or have a total SHTF scenario unfold to see very significant gains compared to where we&#039;re at now.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; In hindsight, the safest time to buy was in the early 2000&#039;s.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, there is much greater risk in spending on one ounce of gold what could have purchased 3 ounces only 7 years ago.&nbsp; &nbsp; But I think the longer it sustains these levels, the safer it becomes.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Because of manipulation, we don&#039;t really know what PM&#039;s are worth.&nbsp; If the Fed let PM prices spiral out of control, it would cause people to lose faith in their paper money which is the last thing they want or can afford to let happen.&nbsp;&nbsp; If metals are falling (for no apparent reason), there is no &#039;buzz&#039; and people aren&#039;t driven to them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Instead, it looks better to gamble in the stock market at these levels, which is what the rich elite want the working class of this country to do.&nbsp;&nbsp; That way they can more easily and legally fleece them again some day.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; As for your question, pick price points and draw your own conclusions.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Like you say, the economy is a disaster and they&#039;re printing money like never before.&nbsp; But PMs are mysteriously dropping.&nbsp;&nbsp; We&#039;re in the middle of an enormous, unpaid for, economic stimulus package and we&#039;re *maintaining* a very bad economy.&nbsp;&nbsp; The markets are slowly falling.&nbsp;&nbsp; What happens next year with no stimulus?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
