Marc Faber, legendary Hong Kong investment manager recently had this to say about the suppression of gold prices.

"If market manipulation exists then it is good for gold buyers since it keeps the price down.

"If you have manipulation to keep the price down, it eventually goes ballistic. So, all the people that are bitching about the manipulation of silver and gold should be happy that it is manipulated because it still gives them an opportunity to buy it at a depressed priced,” Faber said.
