The gold shorts are definitely running the show today. As always, I'd be delighted to be proven wrong-as for stocks, it looks like they'll be down at least a c-note no matter how many " trainloads of fiat" are shipped down to Wall St. I say that because U.S. futs have been manipulated up to near unch and Europe has clawed its way to the unch line--a more bullish set up--as we all know--would be a down Europe & down U.S. futs.& a quick 100 pt down open...
