Cork, My line of reasoning as being the only thing that makes sense is as follows:
They allow gold to run while buying up the miners off their lows, then they sell the miners for huge profit (today with gold at the high) then they smack gold back down. What is to prevent tptb and insiders from doing this with no rule of law for the connected and taxpayer funded regulators looking the other way? Retail gets screwed again, rinse and repeat, can't allow a repeat of 2016 can they.
