once again you have got me curious. do you monitor your large portfolio by industry weights? how do you do it?

OT I am going to rant at Barron's on the issue of the decline in silver. I found it more than curious that in this weeks edition, there were at least 3 articles of silver, none of which alluded to the 5 increases in margin required, as well as additional margin increases by brokers, as a possible reason for the decline. MF global announced they were raising silver margins to 175% of the comex requirement. I guess owning silver as a US Citizen is slowly becoming like being an on line poker player. Moreover, It is down right shocking to me that no one but me seems to think that the sharp decline in asia sunday evening when several asian markets were closed seemed to pressage that coming margin increases in silver. Gee, it almost like someone knew ahead of time. LOL. Now if that isnt trading on inside information Id like to know what is. Seems clear to me that the COMEX is far from being a level playing field and i think anyone playing futures should be aware of that. Now it makes me wonder whether an entity like SLV which must have considerable clout with the CME is going to make a big deal over this or just rollover and pretend nothing happened. I think anyone who owns slv ( I dont) should be asking them about this.
