While many of us have been watching the manipulation in the gold and silver markets and wondering if there would ever be an end in our lifetimes, it's often been easy to feel as if the fraud might continue forever. But keep in mind that time has a way of resolving the things that seem impossible on a day-to-day basis, and if you were wondering whether if there's even a chance that the new Basel 3 regulations may actually impact the fractional reserve gold and silver paper markets, then today's video is for you.

Chris Marcus worked 2 years at bond rating agency Moody's, has an MBA from Wharton, and also worked 7 years as an equity options trader for Susquehanna International Group on the American and New York Stock Exchanges, before leaving in 2012 to create Arcadia Economics. In addition to publishing Arcadia's Monthly Market Snapshot, he also currently writes market commentary for gold and silver dealer Miles Franklin, Investing.com, and several others.
