Another act of desperation for the banker trust-

of course it could be legit short covering, but I think the shock value of '400 Tons' is a huge play, especially after they admit it will be spread over 10 yrs...hmm

anyway, it will be interesting to see if - a) it greats a great buying opportunity, however short that might be or b) a non-event in the gold markets, which should _really_ shake them up

    My guess is that they wanted the announcement to move the market.

      Europe and Asia will probably buy lots of gold in dollars if the price drops in reaction to the IMF supply. People holding Euros and Pounds consider gold a bargain priced in dollars. I think 400 tons over 10 years will slow down the bull market in metals, but it won't suppress it for very long. There's just too much toxic money and credit out there..with a world overpopulated and depending on phony money systems. Hold your gold for the long run and keep educating and recruiting people into precious metal movement.
