WC, gov. selling assets into the market to lessen inflation is an interesting idea that someday might happen. However, it seems to me this could occur after Central banks flood the world with fiat currency eventually setting off a pseudo inflation of sorts in an effort to stop deflation. By that time we might plan on having much less PM : )
I don't much concern myself with the day to day market activity.I don't trade only hold long term. I remain convinced that the cartel will eventually lose control and metals will float to their natural price which will be multiples of their manipulated prices.
