“Anyone that’s been around the block a few times with gold knows that at some point ‘they’ will stage a concerted effort to drive gold lower.” December gold hit $2,000 at 21:19 ET Monday. It then retreated and traded sideways until 22:50 ET. Then someone slammed gold down to $1,955 in 20 minutes. This is obvious “impact trading.” Gold then traded sideways for over four hours. (see red line above). At 3:27 ET another attack on gold commenced. December gold finally bottomed at $1,927.50 at 3:51 ET. Gold rebounded sharply after Goldman hiked its target price to $2,300. The duo concerted attacks on gold suggest that someone with stature has transitioned from being alarmed about gold to being afraid of gold. |

Common stocks owners, especially private equity, should be very, very alarmed at where the United States is heading. |
