The central bankers have their thumbs on PM's

900.00 gold, 13.00 silver and control the dollar for now. I suspect this continues til after the elections at least. US Mint basically suspended all their gold coins for now. Cannot have the plebians buying a 1000.00 gold coins and taking 10-1 money out of the banking system. Very odd on silver, no real inventory anywhere. Dealers buying back the stuff all over. If the market were free the price would be rising. I have never seen dealers so desperate for inventory and when demand is huge like it is prices normally rise, but not when central bankers are playing game the futures.

They got an early start today in Asia—around 3:00 a.m.

The dollar is up HUGE today, which is why gold and silver are down. The news is reporting that bank failures spreading to Europe are responsible for that. So it's not that the dollar is strong, it's that Europe is weakening faster than us, at the moment.

I'm considering picking up some gold today, if the selloff holds or accelerates over the next couple hours. Take advantage of it !

So, they're spending money to give us a discount on precious metals? Great!

Bargain sale time! Thanks, Powers that Be (ya jackasses)!
