Gold And Silver Market Manipulation: Interview With Bill Murphy
Over 150 years of research exists with respect to manipulation of American commodities markets. This is not a new phenomenon.
Research shows that excessive short or long positions in commodities futures abnormally affect their market prices, similar to the stock and bond markets.
Research also shows that excessive short future positions covering amounts beyond typical production lower commodity prices while also forcing more of it into the markets.
Bill Murphy of GATA.org and I discuss his 20 years of research into the gold and silver market manipulations and where prices will end up when these practices end.
I visit with Bill Murphy, Chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee and owner of Le Metropole Cafe, regarding the gold and silver markets.
We focus on the manipulative practices of banks, governments, and other entities with regard to the gold and silver markets.
We discuss the ways in which futures markets are manipulated using an excessive amount of short positions not backed by corresponding positions in the physical markets.
We discuss the various schemes used over the years such as the London Pool and Washington Agreement.
We discuss what factors will finally free gold and silver from the futures markets' manipulations and when that is likely to occur.
We discuss why the upside to the gold and silver price, especially, is enormous given recent developments in those markets.
