The Not-So-Great Silver Debate

I’ve seen enough of these debates about gold and silver manipulation to expect two things:

1.       Prepare to be disappointed as personal attacks and form triumph over substance

2.      Nothing either party says will change what the other side so firmly believes

But, they can be fun to watch anyway. Here, Gold Anti Trust Action Committee Chairman Bill Murphy and CPM Group Director Jeff Christian cross swords at the Silver Summit in Spokane:

There is more on the debate in this Mineweb story along with these comments by Murphy and this collection of rebuttals by Christian to GATA’s manipulation claims.

As noted in the Mineweb story, the Financial Times recently giving GATA new credibility is significant, but attempting to make their case in a forum such as this against someone like Christian always seems to quickly degrade into faith-based arguments and name calling.
