Walt reports on this week's admission by CFTC Commissioner Brad Chilton that silver manipulation by the big banks is really happening. This marks the first time that a government official has admitted that such manipulation exists in the marketplace for precious metals. Supposedly, the three-year-old investigation of the manipulation is continuing, according to Mr. Chilton.
We were also joined this week by Courtney Armstrong in our guest segment. She is a grief and trauma counselor who specializes in treatment for returning veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and the author of the book, Transforming Traumatic Grief.
Armstrong says that a RAND Corporation study has shown that nearly twenty percent of troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression. Even older veterans, like those who served in Vietnam, can experience a resurgence of PTSD when they retire and have more time to reflect on the past.
