To the board:

Just received the following e-mail from Jim Sinclair:

Why Gold is Lower Friday noon until present

The reason for gold weakness Friday afternoon to present is the maturity today of 10,000 gold calls which are in the money. That means that the call option have a strike (execution) price under the price of gold. That represents 1,000,000 ounces of gold. The market expects that the holder will try and hedge by selling into the cash or forward as he/she takes delivery. Therefore traders have sold short since Friday morning betting on their conclusion.

The market would get a bullish shock if the holder takes delivery and the gold disappears. We shall see shortly as this is a USA market phenomena.
