Is the gold price being manipulated?

Much is written about the manipulation of the Gold price and Silver price. Sudden price movements to the downside are quickly associated with manipulation by some, while identical price movements to the upside do not cause similar surprise.

Investors who think they own physical gold with a paper instrument should be aware that physical gold is not always fully covered.
