I'm focusing more on how this is the mechanism to keep the price of Gold down. No one at the big banks or the gov't will ever talk about the huge short positions against gold that's on their books. No one, of course, will tell you who gave the orders to put the trades on. In one of the articles I posted, it seems Germany had 20 times their GDP in gold shorts. If they had to buy gold to cover, how high would gold go? But they don't. They keep rolling out on expiration dates. They don't want to go near physical gold.
