- Don't Overestimate Gensler & "Position Limits" on Gold and Silver
Mr. Gensler feels the need to impose position limits because he's worried that the Chinese or the Russkies might swoop in to the Crimex metal pits, buy a lot of contracts, and request actual physical delivery. This would ruin the game for Gensler's Wall Street buddies. (The darn Asians might even object to the hokey ETF physical delivery and do something unkind like sue for specific performance.) So Da Boyz have to move out in front of this problem and change the rules pre-emptively.

- Goldman Sachs No Longer Short
Dear Fellow Investor:
Below is an analysis by Adrian Douglas, a guy I've met, and who runs www.marketforce.com, a serious analytical outfit. IF…IF… GS (more affectionately known in the business as Hannibal Lecter) is now actually long gold after BS'ing their clients for years about selling gold or even shorting gold…the result could be that prices of gold and shares that have been dumped by a zillion hedge funds and mutual funds…are poised for an explosion. This would create a total reversal of the thinking of every "gold-is-a-barbarous-relic" Wall Street MBA who has now looked around and realized that normal "diversification" didn't do squat to help them on the 777 down day on Monday, and that maybe, just maybe there's something to this gold as an insurance policy story.
