That inspired me Al D. to fib extension picture it. GLD. so much talk 'bout Comex emptying out of physical; ending the gold paper play; FreeGold market a-coming (not sure I unnerstand it yet but there should be a chance to get out when price upheaves); taxation is Weird on GLD. So, thus, GDX. I figure miners will surely at least still be mining the stuff. Here's what Corey's talking about. Fib Extension. green if breakout up from yest.'s low. red if down-low @ bottom and yest.'s high. and the white is the long term bottom back up to gold 1600.

thx auole
I think COMEX inventories are a maniplutor’s paradise, just IMHO
Here, the drawdown in COMEX gold inventories is used as a rationale for the gold squeeze, even though inventories have been declining for the last six months, and the long-gold trade (squeeze) is only 4 weeks old…

I have a few problems with that:
1) The charts don’t synch up, so they are immediately suspicious
2) Ripe for manipulation? If you want COMEX to register lower inventories, possibly resulting in a squeeze (short-covering gold), just demand delivery and poof: the numbers will reflect a drawdown…
Where else could you find such transparent temptation if you were, say, a whale or a big bank… This would not be the first nor the last time JPM and friends toyed with the metals markets…
3) Is this just a pimp piece? His disclosure shows he is long plenty gold stocks.
And now the regulators step in with a “do-not-destroy” order.
I don’t mean to go all “conspiracy theory” on you, but this smells too: “…four of the six largest players [LME and CME registered warehouses] have been
bought by investment banks or traders."
