Here's a thought: - What if it were possible for China and Russia to collude and begin to spoof-sell US Treasuries, thus manipulating the market in the same way as Comex/LBMA do with gold. - Now that would be something wouldn't it?.

Hi Pushme - Agree, price discovery through the process of buying and selling and supply and demand, but not through spoofing.

A very good analogy tibbs. - Top table indeed. - If they have no bread then let them eat cake.

Sounds like IR falling short. - So response difficult to come by now and phone calls that are cut-off. - Never mind, nice try Tibbs. You couldn't have done more. - You made a big effort on all our behalf's

A man makes arrangements to have his wife killed. - He discusses it with the hitman, - I don't want her to suffer he says. - The hitman reassures him, don't worry, I'll choose a point below the left-breast, pull the trigger and it'll be all over. - Whoa, hold on a minute, I want her killed not kneecapped.

Good morning sparkle - Do you have data on shipment totals for the qtr.? - No matter if you haven't, being the last day and all I'm curious as to what we can expect and how it stacks-up with what we were told. - cheers.

PS. - Wouldn't it be a nice surprise/present if it turns out better than expected. - What's the chances? - God knows we could do with some good news.

Hi Sparkle - No news of shipments. - Has there been any I wonder? - My understanding is that normality was restored a couple of weeks ago so on that basis I would have expected a shipment.

The golden-conveyor continues to run unabated. - A further 640,000 freebies for AP to add to the millions already in the bag. A world of perpetual ladders stretching out for the life of the mine. - Meanwhile, back at the shareholders ranch, only snakes on the menu. - Is it any wonder that discontent and mistrust has surfaced. - When are we to share in the company success instead of continually having to forfeit our gains?. - They don't have to hand anything back even if they are negligent.. - That's a game only for us - They fu*k it up and hand us the tab.

Hi - Your post re Trumps reaction to tariff impositions against the US and your comment about mentality reminds me of a joke I once heard.

During Roman-times a Negro gladiator was pushed into the arena with only a stick for defence. - A Tiger was then released against him. - As the Tiger leapt, he ducked, came up underneath the Tiger and grabbed it's bal*s. - There was a violent reaction from the crowd. - 'Fight fair you bl*ck bast*ard'!

Hi Pushme - You accept then that the futures market is selling gold that they do not posses and cannot deliver. - OK. - So your interpretation of that situation is that it is akin to fractional reserve, as in banking, and most certainly does not represent manipulation, even though some of the biggest undeliverable orders are struck during twilight trading hours when normally very few trades take place and this same pattern is repeated over and over again and usually more prevalent around option-expiry. - No? - Nothing to see here, move on please! - Fair enough, that's your rose-tinted view that's all.- You stick to that, I'll stick to my philosophy. - Why do I invest in Centamin? - Well, they have outstanding fundamentals which hold an appeal for me and I live in hope that the illegal manipulation, yes it is illegal, fractional reserve is not, will be brought to an end - A final question I'd like to ask you if I may. - Do you think that it is right that the futures market, in it's present form, should determine the price of physical gold? - On the Shanghai futures exchange for example, sellers are not allowed to contract to sell gold unless it is physically stored and available for delivery. - That sounds like a good, fair and honest way to do business.

Hi Pushme. - Can you shed some light on the arithmetic. - How is it possible to write contracts to deliver gold for more gold than exists by a very large multiple? - If you can explain this, speaking for myself, I might be able to adjust my thinking on this subject.

Hi Marmot
It's obvious that manipulation is taking place, if nothing else the impossible arithmetic confirms this. - It's also obvious that the powers that be, the regulatory system, knows that it's taking place and appear to be complicit in the arrangement. This for me is far more worrying than the manipulation itself. It transcends the limits of acceptable behaviour within a supposedly democratic system based upon truth, justice and the rule of law. - When this starts to break down in such an obvious and transparent way, they are not even subtle about it anymore, it is time for us all to worry. - IMO

Good morning sparkle - Thanks for the link - Very interesting. - I wonder how BOE is preparing for reset. - Are they buying gold? - I've not heard that they are. - I've always felt there was a cunning plan in place that involved collusion between US.- UK - Europe. - There's been no urgency by these countries to acquire precious metals so I'm wondering what new foundations their reset will be built upon. - Part of it will be deceit that's for sure. - Are Carney's duplicitous remarks part of the new strategy? - Time will tell.

Hi mick - Crazy - However, gold priced in sterling has just recently experienced a 'Golden cross'. (50day moving up through 200day)

PM's settlement day tomorrow (26th) - Let's see what happens then. - It seems odd that overall gold demand is down and yet, paradoxically, you can't get hold of the stuff, times for delivery are getting longer. - Work that one out.

Hi Ampthillmob. - I agree with you, whoever you are and whatever your views, keep contributing. - Because, that's what it is, a contribution shared amongst people with a common interest, Centamin. - Hell, I know people get mightily sick of some of the sh*te I post and to my style of posting, to the extent I can almost here the booing in the background, but it doesn't deter me. :-) - So, all of you, keep it coming.

Hi Tibbs -I always thought there was something odd about you and now I know. - You and that Maguire guy who just because he's an international wholesale bullion dealer thinks he's an expert. - I have a very good friend who used to be in the WAAFS in the finance section, (naafi subscriptions) reckons you conspiracy theorists have got it all wrong.

Tibbs indeed, but it is the word we cannot mention isn't it? - Although it's where my spare is going just now.

Didn't Mexico do well? - Wow! - They could well be the dark-horse of the tournament. As for Germany, They have a history of not doing well in Russia. I don't think England need be frightened if they do happen to meet them.

There's a phrase often used in the scriptures - "And it came to pass" - We are where we are and we can't change it. - We can't use 'Democracy 'because that has been hi-jacked. - Democracy has become a tool of the financial/corporate world. A world that has control of all the levers that matter in a modern economy, not the least of which are the politicians themselves. - We can pretend that it is not so, but that is just a state of mind, and even that is controlled by the influence of that financial/corporate world that owns the means to influence thoughts. - I'm afraid "It has come to pass" and our survival depends upon our acceptance of this truth. - We adapt or die.

Hi Tibbs - So far as you know, is it all up and running again?
