Cork, I think you'll like this quote from Zerohedge yesterday... Yes the Mining sector is a crime scene today. The entire sector down 9-14% today with gold down like .05% and silver down like a whopdee doo 9 cents, this is the third day in a row. This option expiry sheet is a freaking fraud EVERY MONTH. I had one go down 14.2% on a measly 550K shares traded and every big block trade almost was a buy. Every buy in it never raised the price all day. You can't tell me these pricks MMs are trading out of their portfolios like that for 3 days when the prices of the metals have barely even moved in the last 3.. I've watched this stuff for years but that was TOTAL GARBAGE. They are complete and total criminals and they don't care if you see it anymore. I watch it every day and you believe what you want. They wanted the shares for after Option expiry in london tomorrow morning for the rest of the week, so they just stole them. About 20 percent down in three days in a rising market with no news and a near record short on the COT report. And that don't even include what they had to do these last days because that report isn't out yet. It will have to be a record at this point when it does come out. Tue or Wed.. Most of the mining stocks are just now getting back to reasonable levels after being bug squashed for 5 long years. There are a few of the small caps getting ahead of themselves here but all of this was on no news whatsoever. In a normal market the Fresnillo or Pascua Lama mines would have to collapse or cave in to cause that. I watched it when Gold hit the High of the day on comex which is a different type market and EVERY stock flashed green with a buy at the exact same time on the stock exchanges both here AND the Toronto ones. I watched 40 green lights go off all at the same instant of time, or the entire screen with stocks on 4 different exchanges in two countries plus the comex, That's algo's. What's that tell you? ALL the markets are not only being rigged but they are now being electronically rigged together and coordinated Internationally by these scum banksters.. That can't happen otherwise I'm not buying any of it and I will dang sure not put any more money it this crooked mess, just trying to exit with my last ones to close out an old IRA. IT'S CROOKED AND GETTING WORSE. This ain't your Grandad's stock market here friend.
