Does anyone take consensus of trader
consensus-inc.com
or MarketVane and get the numbers in a timely manner. I'd like to see them posted here regularly, as a sentiment overlay to the COTs.

It's starting to look like we are getting some extreme "big trade" setups right now, and the spec crowd may be getting way offside, it's one of the reasons I was "falsely" suspicious about the job revision numbers. Specs have piled into metals (especially gold), up 172,724 long on 7-27 to 308,107. There has been a surge in energy as well. There has been a persistent surge in spec longs in the stock indexes. Specs look too short the USD, major exception, the Yen. There is stunning spec short position built against grains, 220,699 short, mostly on corn and soybeans. It looks like commercials got somewhat long bonds before the job report. Of course this shift was concealed because it was reported afterwards.
