re your..”WHO is buying and selling all of those gold/silver contracts knowing it is a totally comatose market? Makes no sense, 300K gold trades trying to bang out $2?”
Sometimes in cases like that, makes no sense, you have to talk to yourself, or ask yourself what WOULD make sense. And that would be the logical answer. You would know better than I because I don’t play futures.
The only ideas I come up with computerized trading machines? Gov’t lackey Goldman Sachs?
