Today, in the Financial Times, there is an article by Jack Farchy about the eurozone banks borrowing GOLD from the central banks! Yessir! Quoting from him, "The estimate by GFMS confirms a trend that bankers and gold traders have been privately discussing for the past six months. The increase in lending came as eurozone commercial banks, suffering a shortage of dollar liquidity, rushed to borrow gold from central banks and later swap it on the market in exchange for dollars." Huh? "Swap" it for dollars? Folks, this means that the gold was borrowed and SOLD! That is the definition of a "short" position and the bet is the price of gold will drop! Read the entire article by clicking here. It's actually pretty well written.
