Did COMEX Gold Futures 'Glitch' Hint At The Future Awaiting Us?
Call it a fat-finger, or a deus ex 'aurum' machina, but during this morning's COMEX gold futures trading, we wonder if the obvious 'glitch' gave us a premonition of things to come?
The obvious glitch

The Wizard of Oz wasn't written as an allegory for silverites, but it can be interpreted that way (among a bunch of other ways) if one feels like it.

Kinda shocking when anything close to the actual value of Real Money temporarily gets out from behind the curtain, no?
What say we all start a friendly wager on the exact date that the price of gold actually DOES reach this price?
I will start the betting: March 3, 2015
Remind me to bet after 11/06/12
2/1/14
20/20/20 oh wait.....
Remember, this is the same website that often quotes gold by the barrel and oil by the ounce. And get this, today they are telling the muppets to buy US Treasuries and USD! Only the brain dead would get their market news from MarketWatch.
Two barrels of gold and an extra heavy-duty forklift to go, please....
You're too late, RSB. Carlos Slim has already beat you to it.
$17,716.00 per ounce is the price of gold in Amero's after it replaces the dollar!
Who says this was a comex glitch and not a marketwatch glitch?? Just sayin...
It must be Iranian hackers. They hate us for our freedom you know... </sar>
donkey-drone attack?

I guess algos have no concept of unit testing their software.

Fat Gold Finger.
Anyone got a quote for spot gold in Obama Bucks?
I tried to get it on my Obama Phone but the only thing on the screen is "Vote for Obama - he gave you this phone" ...
Poor Joe Sixpack.
I was looking at a Netdania chart at that time. And there was a massive volume surge that dwarfed anything previous on the chart at that time. It is gone now. But it was so big it made it look like the other volume bars barely existed.
SELL! SELL!! SELL!!!
Let's hope that was Nostrodamus' fat finger on the scale.
Can't sell until the doubletop now.
Maybe that's how some of the huge shorts can cover? I wouldn't put it past them. With impunity no doubt.
Now they are just fucking with us.
Feels like we're the dog, the ball the comex is holding is gold at 17716, and saying, "You want the ball boy, you want the ball? Gooooo get it! All the while never throwing it. We then return feeling dejected when all of a sudden, "you want the ball boy you want the ball? Goooooooooo get it! The question then becomes at what point does the dog say fuck it and bite Bernanke in his balls!
They can only fuck with those who have paper metals and those who keep theirs in a safe deposit box.
Same thing happened with WTI and Silver.
Did my sell order (GCZ12) execute at 5,050?
Akak, I agree the NSA is on to ZH, and influencing the comments. Notwithstanding this morning's attack (? - by Iranians?), which slowed connection severely, apparently for everyone, I have had minor technical difficulties submitting comments ever since I mentioned 12 USC 411. I suspect this is exactly how Homeland will close down the net.
Fishhawk
it's all a goddamned conspiracy, i tell you!
Don't think we'll ever see such a price in these dollars...
There'd be nothing worth living for anyway if you dreamers got your gold targets!
I'm more shocked some people still use IE.
At the very least, people should be using Firefox with HTTPS Everywhere, Ghostery and NoScript. At best, TOR.
Weere there any trades at those prices?, if so, what kind of suckers would actually buy????
My futures chart shows gold about to take a plunge along with all the indices...
I guess the Fed and its cohorts will be happy to 'thin finger' it from time to time - meaning we'll see Gold on the screens at $177.60?
Da robots have some commonsense too.
Almost enough to pay for a loaf of bread a year from now.
I sure hope that NSA has better things to do than waste their time monitoring all the bad boyz here at ZH. If not we are all in serious trouble.
There could be a secret market where only central banks trade .... and those are the real prices .... Comex et all is just a theatre for the public to discourage speculation ?
Thats just about right on target if we were back on organic reality economics.
True question, and thanks in advance. Can you set a buy in those markets at say $2200, or in some narrow window, to only trade in that window? Never traded paper commodities. I know you can fill a stock at any level below(i.e. buy order at $5 fill at $4.95 in a stock, but not 5.01) but because it's a hedge on production could you set a buy at $2100-2105, to hedge a runaway spike in price, but NOT fill until that level, for say a short cover which covers a physical inventory? thx again...no sarc
another i.e. let's say I was only interested in gold at $1805 and up, cause at that point I thought the run was on, but not at $1775. Could I set a buy to hit at that level, but not before?
p.s. I just buy FB and US savings bonds, and AAPL./sarc
I took a screenshot of the silver comex DEC contract just because I was not believing what I was seeing. I have 14 years in the silver bullion markets and never seen anything like that before but I suppose that it could have happened before and I missed it? But why the double top and why for such a long period of time? Better yet, why are all the charts erased or corrected now? Did anyone succesfully execute an electronic trade? If so who? If so, who bought the downside cliff and why? Why did the market not go up even more if someone did buy?
Something stinks about this whole thing but I'm not an instutionalized(sic) trader by any means. It is probably nothing but...well...I doubt I need to explain my concerns on this site. So much for true price discovery.
If nothing else, I now have a MSM sourced chart that says that silver was in the $34,000 range. That might turn out to be handy later on.LOL
Here's my theory: This was a time slip from after the "global coastal event" hits in Spring '13. Time/space continuim is becoming like swiss cheese because of the part of "space" the Milky Way is transversing. Watch for auroras soon in the mid latitudes as a marker for TSHTF.
OP's post using Internet Explorer? Why not just embrace your nihilism and use NetScape Navigator?
Not sure what you are trying to say. I use Firefox as primary on all OS that I use.
Backing up the truck at $17K for the move to $170K.
Overextended equity/commodity/GOLD & SILVER daily charts still indicate impending correction.
