This played on Canada's CBC last week. It's on YouTube, usually segmented in ten minute clips, but here's the full programme:

Frightening to say the least. Unfortunately, possession of physical bullion does not isolate an investor from the impact of a manipulated commodity market.

Wow. This is a program that would warm the hearts of conspiracy theorists the world over. I saw some interesting facts cleverly blended with lots of sensational speculation. Some of the cast were like a Who's Who in the gold bug world. But it was very entertaining and for those who like looking at shiny bars of bullion gold this came damn close to porn.

I like the description of the bank building on Toronto, whose glass facade was made up of gold (50 grams per pane, if I heard right).
