Banging the open.................from Rico

For CFTC 'regulators' this is classic "bang the open" in the Gold and Silver spot markets of the COMEX (where volumes are drying-up as investors/traders flee the CRIMEX and refuse to 'play' or take paper fiat in lieu of physical delivery, going elsewhere; the CME Ponzi game is violently dying as a result).
- The Fed, the Treasury, and their TBTF (and Too Big To Prosecute TBTP) Banksta' Gangsta' buddies already know perfectly well how this works. This is market manipulation and price suppression, centrally-planned economy style [read: criminal, unless you're a Commie].

What? You think this is 'normal' market behavior?

Think again, if anyone had been 'long' nights in the precious metals exchanges, and 'short' days, they would have made a virtual killing.
- The pattern is for Gold and Silver to 'rise' overnight in the presence of heavy global buying, and to 'drop' during the day upon massive un-backed paper 'shorts' being dumped into the market to suppress prices state-side.

Can't have the 'market' making the Fed and/or the Gooberment look 'bad' or useless/ineffective now, can we?
- Besides, identifying gross fiscal malfeasance in an election year isn't 'good' for politics-as-usual!
