New York Globex: Gold manipulation at new levels

Market Oracle: Why Gold Was 'Hacked' Friday- and How

A $35 price drop in gold coupled with the secretive launch of a brand new, super fast, 33 trades per second global trading platform for gold. What a coincidence!

s2r1 - i have heard of Globex and traded on it - actually years ago. http://www.cscorp.co.uk/GLOBEX_Brochure.pdf

I dont buy into this article and am a bit surprised you do (if you do) ! I did say when we last spoke what i expected the market to do - i.e. go higher this last week and then some downside.

Another article which scorns "paper gold". To counter this may I just point out that the ETF price tracks the price of the physical because of arbitrage, which an ETF has a well-defined, frequently used procedure for doing.

To demonstrate this, the following link downloads a spreadsheet of data for a Gold ETF which includes the number of shares in issue and the tonnes of gold owned by the trust:

For example, over three tonnes of gold was redeemed from the trust on 26th March. I post this because if I think that the writers of these articles against Gold ETFs appear to view the idea of redeeming or creating units as a rare event, which cannot be relied on to make the ETF track the underlying. The figures should give more confidence.

TM,

But why has Globex suddenly appeared on Kitco charts?

I am going with my intuition here.
Gold is in an Elliott wave 4 correction here.

We are going into a political and economic storm in May and June.
Gold is going to 1500+ by end of June...ish

GBP could fall sharply against the USD so even more gains to be had.

I am buying more gold next week.

YES!!! I go away for a week and s2r1 does it! A falsifiable prediction!

"Gold is going to 1500+ by end of June...ish"

I'm holding you to that. I'll even give you to the end of June because you put the -ish on!

Can anybody tell me, does SPDR GLD has a 1 to 1 back up of real gold to its market value?

gold sh ..ould trade in the 1325 to 1430 range for the next 45 days(without a crisis) then move towards 1500 over the following 3 to 4 months so buy on severe retractios.
