  • The shorts in June 2011 got KILLED in the following two months. Look at a chart of the 10yr vs. gold in Aug 2011: hyperbolic, in unison.

  • you know haha, i had been thinking the same thing but the more i look at it like for instance the cot on the commercials for the ust 10/20, man, they have really bumped up over the last couple of weeks and the folks holding these contracts are definitely better connected than me;

    also, look at the correlation on the pm with the ust and i think the cme lightening up on margin is all managed from above to defend the ust market;

    something to think about
