The guy being interviewed here has been observing the price of gold since 2002. He claims that there is an upper bound of 2% increase eah day. He says that once the price rises by 2% today, some manipulators sell off to keep the price from rising further. He claims that only a few times has the price risen by more than 2% on a given day.
This seems absurd on its face. If I were holding enough gold that I could manipulate the price I would love for the price to go as high as it could...
I figure that a lot of the money that the Fed gives the banks is used to suppress (short sell) gold and silver.
