And Scotia gets sucked out of 30M following in their footsteps. Sometimes it doesn't pay watching all the intra-day ticks. I know a multi-millionare who is in his selected juniors and the guy tells me he only checks their prices once a month. So this guy, if he is telling me the truth, will never fall for any of the naked short head games.

Looks to me that the miscreants were in the market with their staged selling again. Martin Armstrong with his studies states that a weekly closing above $1680.10 would be a big plus for gold but indicates, generally speaking, that he sees the declining consolidation phase as continuing. Just a gut feeling, but I see gold being pressed higher late in the week to surpass Armstrong's magic number. This would fit nicely into the perceived accumulation tactics of the Chinese, as far as I am concerned.
