Would it not have a better effect if people didn't know it was happening? They may be keeping the price down but if everyone knows it is a fake then do they not just see it as noise? The only advantage I can see is that some people will see gold as not going up as much, rely on the smack downs to continue and therefore keep in dollars/stocks to make a greater profit elsewhere until the smack downs stop - at which point they switch to gold and say thanks for keeping it cheap. Maybe it is something to do with boiling frogs but I haven't done enough research on this to know I am afraid.

Interesting that they don't seem to have the intelligence to change the time of the smack down or release it in small amounts throughout the day. Even I noticed the smack down today and I don't know very much about this topic at all. My question is: why are they so thick?

Maybe I am not on here enough or most likely I don't pay enough attention but I hadn't noticed it. I also thought that was a general teaching technique where the same thing is said many times in just slightly different ways in the hope that one of them will enter the head of the student.

I also like RH posts so that another to be excluded from the 'general noise' category. For a poster to claim knowledge of what the other posters think of an individual without discussing it is a little silly. There are many good posters on this forum but some are too complicated for me and I really don't understand the implication of what they say. Hence I like it when I get a bit of an explanation.

So as expected an extremely wealthy individual was using his position to lie in order to make a profit. Well, that's a surprise. I notice that he purchased an ETF though, I wonder why? I have no idea why he doesn't keep £100 million for himself and either give the rest to charity or set up a new charity to do some good.
