Interesting rant

Gold and silver are holding up at their highs. Silver peeked above $20. Gold stocks were pushing near all-time highs, but just took a dip.

This could be interpreted as either: a decline could set in if current levels are not breached and equities crash, OR prices are ready for a breakout above these levels and then a major jump up.

Ireland is sounding pretty bad as a possible black swan. Someone was saying Britain could be the next shock to the system. The Euro is still bumping along the bottom and the Yen remains strong despite verbal intervention and some flooding of money in Japan. So all in all, I lean toward the former scenario.

Remember my theory about silver manipulation getting much harder because of scrutiny by the DOJ and SEC? Here is a rant in the Huffington Post that mentions this:

Maybe the manipulation of previous metals is moving more and more into the mainstream. The clock is ticking on the enactment of position limits by the CFTC, and so far the big banks have not succeeded in taking down prices in any significant way.

September is here and so far there’s not much action. If you believe the Plunge Protection Team pumped up equities last week to get ready for September, then they’ve succeeded, so far.
