ho ho ho, that's what you get for selling your own product short...friggin' morons. the Australian producers deserve what they're getting, every bit of it...their asinine extreme overhedging has been a major factor depressing prices, and i just knew this would come back to bite them one day.

and look here who says that he isn't worried:

<<Donald Eckert, global bullion risk manager at J.P. Morgan Chase ,said that low gold lease rates indicated there was plenty of liquidity in the market at the moment.>>

i hope JPM's board is sleeping soundly with this rocket scientist of a bullion 'risk manager'. what the low lease rates say is that there is no DEMAND for gold loans...no-one wants to sell forward even more and get caught with their pants down like Ashanti did. and that could easily set in motion unexpected dynamics, since without forward selling, a major source of artificial supply simply dries up.
