The running of the stops...................from Rico

Hemingway made "the running of the bulls" famous.

The 'wiseguys' are making "the running of the stops" infamous.

- Could these crooks be any more obvious? This is a classic 'move the market' and 'run the sell stops' maneuver where paper gets dumped all at once into a quiet market yet no Gold is actually sold. Too cool for school.

Today is NFP day. Perfect cover for, and the 'cue' to stage a massive pre-dawn paper raid on the Gold spot price.

- As expected, you can clearly see the almost instant 2% 'hit' in the wee hours when the market is thinly traded and the traders haven't yet risen and stood in line for their cronuts before heading to work. No trader, pre- or post-coffee, who wants to make money does stuff like this. Only the 'invisible hand' and friends who need to 'manage' the market do this.
