‘You need look no further than today’s gold fiasco to see what Rick Santelli is referring to. Clearly today was preordained to be prime time Crimex time and the cartel didn’t disappoint.

Like clockwork another 4,758 contracts (14.87 tons) were sold at 9:04 AM, and a 3rd hit occurred at 10:11 AM, with an additional 4,192 contracts sold.
