von MIDAS tonight, forget Mahendra yada yada
Bill,
I am completely gob-smacked! In the October 30 session on the TOCOM Goldman Sachs climbed aboard an F16 and headed down the runway with engines at full throttle and the after burners lighting up the night sky. They COVERED an astonishing 2,318 contracts to bring their net short position to 8004 contracts. This is the LOWEST net short position they have held since I have been tracking their position in January 2006.
Look at the chart of their net short position. The other day I was wondering if they would continue to cover in accordance with the established declining trend or cover much faster. We now have the answer: they are getting out of Dodge as fast as they can. This is very significant because given their high level connections this implies that they know that a rate cut is definitely going to be served up by the Fed tomorrow.

We have NEVER seen such a divergence between the POG and the GS net short position. These are definitely different times. This is the mother of all short squeezes.

Silver:
Bill,
Here are some interesting data from the Chinese central bank regarding silver:
September YTD Chinese Imports of Silver were 586,972 kilograms, taking the nine-month YTD total to more than 4 million tons, with a year over year growth rate of almost +65%. Additionally, in the first nine-months of this year China was a net importer of silver, bringing in 600,000 tons more than they exported, a huge 1.3 million kilogram swing from last year’s 9-month YTD net export total of 750.000 kilograms.
Best regards,
Brian
Die letzten Rats verlassen die Titanic.
Mahendra ist Der Kontraindikator und vermutlich von den entsprechenden Kreien finanziert...
Herbst 05 hatte er auch ein Top bei 480 ausgerufen, für lange lange Zeit und natürlich soll der $ bei ihm immer heftigst steigen..., 6 Monate darauf standen wir bei 730/oz...
Übrigens, Chinesen lieben Silber, das ist bei denen über tausende von Jahren schon genetisch eingebaut!
