>GLD Exodus Reversal  - Adam Hamilton - Zealllc
An interesting (though too long for my liking !) analysis of the dynamics of GLD; but I think its opening assertion - "The capital fleeing this single vehicle was the primary reason gold plunged so dramatically in 2013's first half" - is as myopic and misleading as B****berg's standard statement that prices fell "...as some investors lost faith in the metal as a store of value" (or some similar phrase).

This is totally ignoring the well-documented, concerted (and probably illegal) sale of 400 tons (about $20 billion worth) of 'gold' in the space of 2.5 hours on 12th April, which precipitated the huge drop in the spot price - see for example http://1goldinvestment.com/gold-crush-started-with-400-ton-friday-forced-sale-on-comex/ , or http://www.mining.com/web/gold-the-hidden-agenda-behind-the-bear-raid/ .

IMHO, you're putting the cart before the horse. Outflows from GLD are an effect, not the cause.
