Someone tell me this is just a glitch (there are so many lately, how many glitches does it take to reveal manipulation??)

Au and Ag must be getting ready for a launch with this kind of premarket activity unless of course it is a 'glitch' that can be blamed on a computer

Those graphs are deceiving. Sure it looks like an insane plunge, but if you blow the graph up and run the numbers you'll see the drop was less than 1% for each. They do that all the time

Whenever you see something like this, take a look at the options expiration calendar first http://www.marketwatch.com/optionscenter/calendar . A sharp downturn inevitably means the options expiration date is soon approaching.

Oh no, it's perfectly normal behavior. You see, I did a little nibbling over the weekend, and the payment cleared yesterday. So, naturally, the discount comes today.

Frustrating, yes, but l can always relax with a nice long boat ride.
