Ein paar Gedanken zu den angekündigten Goldverkäufen. Nichts wirklich neues aber kurz und kompakt geschrieben.
"On April 2, British Treasury Minister Stephen Timms tried to claim that the newest call for IMF gold sales would somehow represent an increase over former announcements, "What's referred to here is in addition to what has been noted previously." The price of gold fell $40 in the next 24 hours. After that happened, on the afternoon of April 3, IMF spokesman William Murray stated, "The gold sales apply only to those amounts already agreed and announced previously by the IMF." By that time, however, gold had successfully been knocked down through several major sell stop points, which added to the continued decline we have seen early this week.
Last week's furor over potential IMF gold sales was not something proposed or approved by the IMF. Instead it was the work of the U.S .and British governments, acting through the cover of the G-20 meeting. It seems obvious to me that the only purpose for which this, so far, mythical IMF gold sale was mentioned was to knock down the price of gold in the face of the total failure of the G-20 meeting to address global financial crises."

"MOYERS: Are you saying that Timothy Geithner, the secretary of the Treasury, and others in the administration, with the banks, are engaged in a cover-up to keep us from knowing what went wrong?
BLACK: Absolutely.
MOYERS: You are?
BLACK: Absolutely, because they are scared to death. All right? They're scared to death of a collapse. They're afraid that if they admit the truth, that many of the large banks are insolvent. They think Americans are a bunch of cowards and that we'll run screaming for the exits."

"I personally think that gold prices under $900 and silver prices under $13 represent a temporary gift, courtesy of the U.S. government. I do not expect them to last long. "
