Both gold and silver often trade together, and they are both monetary metals. The proponents of the silver manipulation theory also support the gold manipulation theory.

However in many ways the gold manipulation story is very different than that of silver manipulation.

2 bad job reports. Horrible weather affecting growth. Bad EM news. Shorts covering losses.

I just described why gold is up. The overall fundamentals that saw gold plunge 25% in 2013 have not changed. I'll continue to increase my short position as this gold rally reaches exhaustion.
 
Sounds like the cry made by those goldbugs who made doom and gloom prognostications about the market and the economy. They claimed that the market would crash and that gold would hit $2,000. After neither event played out, they're now crying manipulation.
 
I am not sure about the Gold Market whether it's manipulated or not but I read over the internet That Gold Market is entirely depended on the demand. The government can make it all possible if it wishes to control the price of anything. Price rise is the reason for economic growth though we know that the wealth of a nation depends on crude oil, the gold and the real estate.

To invest in gold and real estate is surely a good thing to do because it will get you positive results. But one needs to be sure while investing in these things or the companies you are banking upon because it decides what your future will be. The article about the Fortress Real Development is a bit shocking because the investors tried to act smart and they had to pay huge penalties for their irregular activities.

So they are much more manipulated than Gold Market, I would rather go for Gold rather than any other investment area.

I dont think that is correct. Demand is one of the factors that cause changes to the price of gold. One of the biggies is supply of the yellow metal. It is very difficult if not impossible to get any handle on how much of the stuff is actually stored away in secure vaults. It is also used for collateral and rumours come and go about some gold being used more than once in different locations. On top of this you have many investors buying via ETFs many of which are not physically backed and have gearing.

Its certainly a fickle market to trade in but as always you are trying to buy when others are willing to pay more after you and sellers are less willing to sell and vice versa for selling.

When you mean manipulated, do you mean the overall price of gold , or the quotes your broker gives you?
 
Gold bugs love to claim that gold/silver are manipulated because they all think gold should be trading at $5,000/oz and Silver at $60+
