    "CFTC Relents and Probes Silver Market"

    Not that I expect anything to come out of it, but here's an article in today's Wall St Journal regarding an investigation via the CFTC Enforcement Division (normally these things are <strike>ignored</strike> sluffed off by the Oversight Division).

    Picked up 2000 more silver today in paper. I have 1000 in eagles and the rest in paper. I expect it to move up nicely soon.

  4. the understanding is the short dollar/long gold trade is getting squeezed..

    I suspect this will be resolved over time and not over price.

    there are just too many stories of physical gold in such short supply that we must bide time for the other half of the hedge to blow apart..

    relax and turn off CNBC and go play frisbee with Fido.

  7. What exactly is the gold and silver ratio? Yes, they both are metals but why compare them?

    Read your history. That's the significance. Those ratios are sticky, but obviously not inviolate.

    Need advise please. I am considering to go long silver mini contract & take it into expiry, as I have never taken any contract into expiry I have very little understanding of:

    1. How many ounces is 1 mini based on
    2. Where & how would delivery take place

    Dealers in London are slapping a whoping big spread on physical, so considering buying some physical via a future contract obligations

    answer; 1000 ounce

    For more info on taking delivery of your silver, search the nov. archive on JS-mineset (Jim Sinclair)

    Taking your silver/gold from the CRIMEX is THE way to break the back of the cartel.
