Wall Street makes their money off of stocks and bonds. Only paper can be created out of thin air. That makes gold the enemy of their little monopoly.
According to the latest Committment of Traders report, the recent beat-down of gold from $1000 back to $900 was accomplished by about 4 major Wall Street banks buying a large amount of gold short contracts. Shorting a metal has the effect of driving the price down.
According to that same report, all of the buying of gold is being done by individual, not corporate traders.
As soon as the masses discover what these few individual traders already know, the price of gold will escalate, and at some point the Boyz (as they are affectionately known by insiders), will lose their control over the gold market.
In the meantime, the above picture reflects my sentiments exactly. (Sorry for the profanity, but I didn't make the poster.)
