It seems the initial drop was merely the appetizer as Gold and Silver are now down considerably...

Think they will carry on forcing down the PMs this week.

I also think Israel will attack right after 5th meeting.

TPTB want PMs cheap to jump into as the "Market" crashes.

Israels limited in flight refueling experience requires moonlight

as they will be under electronic blackout.

Probabl an EMP attack.

This is all coming to a head sooner than the armchair pundits think

But then I am a dead war monger so what do I know.

I really, Really Pray that you are wrong.

But I'm afraid you are right.

Besides, if they bomb Iran, then how do they get the gold out?

A few years back, I read that significant prices swings in silver of $2 to $3 a day would be an indicator that silver was going to go exponential, I think it was Turk or Butler????

Guys-Just checked. 2%+ of my gold and 5%+ of my silver has NOT evaporated into thin air. Thank you for your concern.

Well, this shakedown will take us back to...wait for it...mid January for gold and two weeks ago for silver.

Watch the CNBC shills come out and say gold is "done" and Buffet is the second coming.

Seems we could see the 1600s again before the day is out. Time for a little historical reprise, while we watch the opposition go all in on one last throw of the dice.

The more this goes on, the more it starts to resemble the final year of the Pennisular campaign of 1809\14. The slow withdrawal of the French from their remaining theaters of operation - giving up one by one the cities taken in the opening stages of the war, losing valuable assets to a steady guerrilla campaign in the north, unable to hold long supply lines or reinforce centers of resistance...the parallels between the slow disintegration of Rothschilds' ascendancy and the doomed march of "King" Joseph are interesting to say the least. 

Just because the MSM does not report it doesn't mean that they are not now wounded and battered; this slow retreat has all the same signs of cast off baggage{Corzine come to mind!} and a trail of abandoned loot. The thing to remember however, is that the hard core veterans amongst them are still capable of turning upon their pursuers and delivering a sharp rebuke to the over eager and under cautious. Today was such a moment.

And in the meanwhiles, the rabble that  is their disintegrating army of knaves can still foment a path of destructive rape n pillage through the collapsing Imperial hinterland, as Greeks and Carthagians(Liybans) can well attest. 

Though some will argue that they set up this last week's breakout to once again punish the unwary, I suspect that this was in fact, our Salamanca, and that the long stretching lines of fleeing bankster minions will prove to have lost their appetite for fight at last, and be incapable of much more concerted resistance, having just thrown everything into a dying cause. 

Two Hundred and Twenty Five Million Ounces of paper silver dumped in 1/2 hour!  Sinclair called this phase of volatility, just as he called $1650; I believe he will be happy with the events of the day, no matter the carnage.

Declassified letter from Chinese Premier Hu Jintao to US Barack Obomber,

"Please crush the metals prices to make it easier to buy more w/ your shit monopoly money.

PS: Could U drive it to $1 for us so we can dump all our USD$ reserves, then please hyper-inflate so U'll have an internal revolution, which we can come clean up w/ our troops.  All this waiting for your monetary collapse is tiring. Thanks".

Signed Hu "Hu Do U Love?" Jintao

Tiring is not a term for the Chinese who think in 1000 year terms while making plans 50, 100, 500, 1000 years _ into the future while their Children shall rise to leadership and execute them.

America on the other hand has a fit ever 18 months or less in between sports and election seasons.

my first thought was, i give it a day or 2 til we're back to where we were. sinclair was talking about the volatility in gold, moves of hundreds of bucks a day coming in gold.

I don't buy the 'reason' being bandied about for today's takedown. Can anyone else believe that the algos and positions of sooo many traders/hedge funds/whatever could all be triggered within such a narrowly defined range of price and would any other two commodities/currency pairs/indices have such a deep co-ordinated attack on them within minutes? Why would a disparate number of players be using the exact same algos, logic, target prices etc?

BS, load of old crock, cock and bull crap!

Tylers have been rather "ideal world"-like when it comes to sudden PM moves for a while. Will once in a while write an article about the evil PM manipulation, but when it is actually executed, they come up with nice stories. The problem: I have difficulty to believe, that the tylers are actually that naive to believe in those "explanations". They've shown to be capable of recognizing much less obvious patterns in charts.

I will sell Gold when Bernanke allows the banks to fail and does not any intervention whatsoever in trying to prop house prices, or preventing the banking cartel to melt. In the meantime, just was lucky to sell Gold a few days ago because of rotation, probably people will need some days to put 2 and 2 and come back to the fight against fiat. For USD to come back, we need a chairman who is ready to slash the speculators and levegers and send a clear signal that he wants the depositors to make good. That means interest rates at 12% at this point, but that would make the Treasury broke instantaneously. So we need a reversal in the madness at this point.

Might be a buying opp as SLV is down 5.67% on the day so far. What do you think?

From a chart history standpoint, look at gold over the last year. When gold tanks, it tends to tank 5%ish before bouncing. No one can tell where the near term optimal entry point is but if history rhymes then we may have a little more carnage before a bounce. If it is a cascading drop then we may hit a 15% drop (1620?). 

Or a quick opportunity where were are now. Who knows.

lol i wonder how many idiots will panic and fall for those cash for gold scams now. 

it'll bounce back. It always does

There has to be a better reason for Gold to go down $100 in a day. A 5% tumble in anything else would be an 'end of the world' scenario.

All will be revealed in due course.
