The reason for asking is that there appears to be a lot of effort to contain the price of gold right now, which means someone has to be selling.
Since no-one in their right mind will be selling real gold right now, logically they must be creating more paper gold to sell on the market.
Thoughts?
There is way more paper gold than real gold. As long as they have enough physical gold to handle all the small transactions of the physical gold they can get away with it.
