Auszug aus Ted Butlers letztem Kommentar:
ZitatAlles anzeigenIf my readings from the COT are close to correct, it is reasonable to speculate just who the big concentrated silver short may be. And it must be considered a speculation, as commodity law prohibits the CFTC from disclosing actual identities of the big traders. My best guess is still China. Actually, the basis for my guess comes from my silver Godfather, Izzy, as I indicated in a couple of articles two or three years ago,
"Is Red China The Big Silver Short" http://www.investmentrarities.com/07-08-03.html
And "China Controls Silver" http://www.investmentrarities.com/05-24-04.html
I even wrote to the head of the Chinese central bank on the matter. If it does turn out that China is the big silver short, at least they can’t say they weren’t warned, same as the regulators in this country.
Remarkably, since I wrote those articles, China surfaced as being heavily involved in two subsequent short selling debacles, the oil fiasco by China Aviation Fuel http://www.investmentrarities.com/12-07-04.html and the copper short scandal http://www.investmentrarities.com/11-29-05.html My point is that while I am speculating as to China possibly being the big silver short, their emergence as being involved in disastrous short selling of both oil and copper certainly does not detract from my speculation. And I do hope that it is China who is the big silver short, as it would appear that their pockets are deep enough to underwrite and satisfy the financial responsibilities of being short to this extent.
