But we ARE the champions. And we WILL keep on fighting 'til the end.

And though that end seems so far off this morning, this is nothing more than another patience-trying exhibition of bullion bank price manipulation.

Once price was only allowed to rise $50 on the Managed Money...

Another day begins with a Digital Gold smashing right out of the Comex starting gate. And don't forget that there are a set of Fedlines due this afternoon.

So here we go again. This makes three days in a row and very nearly 4-4 this week....

Well, here we go. We've written since at least January that the US midterm elections would bring gridlock, endless investigations and declining confidence. We're about to see if that theory holds: https://www.tfmetalsreport....

It's not quite like the summer doldrums but today's action is similar. We'll likely sit and wait with prices in a range, all the while subject to sudden spikes and selloffs due to random headlines about turnout and exit polls. So, why not a Hat Contest?!?

Just as we began to suspect on Monday, the raid/smash continues today with prices breaking down toward critical support where The Bankers hope to drive The Specs back into the short side of the trade.

And it's already happening. As we mentioned yesterday, with the price of Comex silver...

With the US midterm elections less than one week away, it's only a matter of time before the howls begin that Russia "meddled" and "stole" the elections, particularly if the R-republocrats somehow manage to maintain control of Congress.

There's a lot of great history in last night's...
