Mega this is no offense to you buddy but I'm pretty sure every time you post something with little input of your own (putting your own individual opinion into the mix) you weaken your image on this site. Most people are going to put you on their ignore list. Put some thought into it and make your own judgment call and see what others have to say!
It must be easy to rip on people when you're a new iTulip member...
What is wrong with The Itulip analyis (model if you will) Everything is working out swimmingly EXCEPT on the PM front.
I would venture that Mega ( and I include myself also) are looking for something that we have missed to correlate the performance that we are observing against the performance we expect.
The broader question (okay I'll ask it again) "Is gold being targeted/manipulated below where it would be trading at w/o said manipulation?"

Dude how 'bout addressing the point he raised, instead of missing it completely?
"Why is gold not going up?" Whine, whine, whine. I feel your pain fellas. You guys want the moon and the stars in six months, and if it's not served up on your schedule on a Ritz Hotel platter you get impatient and suspicious. How the heck are you going to go the distance for the next decade? What a rank newbie question! Gold can sit there and do NOTHING for two years while the impatient ones buy it, sell it, then buy it back and sell it all over again, churning their positions with expressions of bewilderment and irritation, wondering why 'it's not doing anything' for them.
This is a really rank newbie complaint. "Hey, I just loaded up on gold six months ago and this thing is a dog! It's not going anywhere! There's a conspiracy of wankers suppressing the price and robbing me of my fat reward! Anyone who suggested I buy gold to protect myself from inflation is full of shit!" etc. etc. Anyone wanting instant gratification does not deserve any windfall or reward! You don't have the long term view - you deserve to get thrown off this thing at the very next downturn. All the people you look at enviously who made 300% waiting patiently since 2000 and sweating it through ugly downturns are looking at your greedy impatience with disgust.

Below the belt and just plain wrong,
You saw his point but just drove right by and went way way past it.
see my post above yours.
(P.S. I've owned gold for 5 years and I asked the same freaking question)
Additive, not subtractive. Let's all get smarter, and more informed, ok?
Why don't you try and think of the bigger picture a bit. The government can name the price if they really want to, but it doesn't matter in the end. Gold and silver are trusted monetary units of value and thus will be used as such if need be.
You don't think you could convince someone to take a silver eagle over a twenty in an obviously inflationary environment? I'm confident I could.
The truth will always come out in the end, and if it doesn't, we've got bigger problems my friend.
