Auandag – I’m not sure, seems odd that demand is down and could be that there is less available. I will say that the COT Report is looking better – a lot better – for the second week in a row, and this is prior to the Wednesday – Friday pop.

The only reason I could think demand is down is as the author says. Complacency. Everyone is complacent until their not. 🙂
samb – I re-read R640’s post as well, doubt he is the buyer, just inquiring about who would be as “demented as he is” to make such a trade. I suspect it was just more OpEx squaring after hours.
This road with pm’s is long. I suspect we’ll have no idea when SHTF until it actually does, and pm’s go no-bid. If that happens, we either have physical or we don’t. The crap shoot is the shares only because we won’t know if there will be a stock market…
