Another boring ZH article on gold manipulations - ho hum

A different slant this time - FOMC meeting days

That's about as unmanipulative as Goldman Sachs not having a losing trading day for an entire quarter. The more I look at that bar graph it does look sort of random...lol.

Those negative bars get accentuated in those FOMC weeks when an Options Expiration or treasury auctions are occurring. That gives you a double or triple witching. This current week was double witching.
On double or triple witching FOMC meetings you can just about mail in the hit that gold is going to receive.

Nothing to see here... move along folks.

I'm thinking manipulation is for certain, short term. You cannot manipulate the trend.

It's FOMC 5% discount week? Good to know, if you're buying.

But heck, really - I get better discounts at hotels just by asking.

That 3-5% FOMC gold discount often translates to 6-10% on silver and miners. Good work if you can get it.

My fiancee' is a pro at beating up the retail stores for discounts. Then again, they only mark their stuff up 150% before they put it on sale.

But this FOMC data sure looks tempting to play.
