I see about a 1000 decrease in short position on the SPOOS, but a 10,000
INCREASE in shorts on the e-mini, and about a 200 decrease on the NDX with
a 9500 INCREASE on the NDX e-mini. Guess these guys like minis all of a sudden....
EDIT: The BIG move of the week was in GOLD, where commercials
decreased their shorts by a net of 22,000 contracts!
