GO GATA!
The rant goes on. Oil moved up even higher, approaching $135 per barrel in the early going … yet the DOW is called 15 higher and gold $3 lower. The PPT and Gold Cartel do their monotonous drills yet once again.

That was the good news, as it was downhill from there on in. Newer Café members will appreciate why I was so ticked off the past two days. This is how the bums operate … cap, cap, cap when the price of gold should be roaring … then ATTACK when outside fundamental factors go the other way!
Talk is proliferating about speculators driving up the oil price … and that something should be done about it. Maybe, but this morning Brent Crude, looked at mostly as a physical market with far less speculative participants, was trading at only 23 cents under WTI, which is more of a spec market. It would be one thing if WTI was trading at a $7 premium to Brent, but this is not the case.
