Four hundred million dollars worth hitting the markets is peanuts today. If released at 100 million a week say there may have been no downward price movement.

I smell market manipulation not really justified by reality. Brokers only make money on movements that cause activity. Or it is one method of many they have.

To hold some may not be wrong. Yet to trust gold as it historically has been anymore does raise some questions. Will it reflect the ever increasing money supply in lockstep properly from here on out or only become a totally speculative commodity. Time will tell. Rapid up and down movements from now on may suggest the latter. Many things are changing in the new economy as I visualise it.
