GATA (the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee at GATA.org) published
a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal documenting manipulation in the price of gold and the possibility that central banks are grossly overstating the amount of gold they hold. It appears they have been selling for some time to manipulate the price down to prop up fiat currencies. When word gets out on just how scarce gold is, the price could move strongly upwards. Take a look at the ad (click on the image on the left-side of the
GATA page in this link) and check out the references as well. Sobering information!
