Ok, so I wrote a letter to ask GATA a question, but they responded me with this.
The responder didn't really answer my question, so I was wondering whether I should write
him back or not. I think he didn't take the time to read my question, or perhaps I am
wrong and he really meant that forwards, futures, options and swaps is, or can be, used to
manipulate the price of gold as well.

What do you think???
