Tom -

haven't spoken with you for a bit, but I notice from your posts we are both in the same camp - I believe you will get your sharper downturn, and I am not just talking about today

in any event, I am wondering if you could help me identify who the "commercial hedgers" are who trade the s&p 500 futures. why would they be long, and why would they be short.

I assume that speculators are people like yourself, and large speculators are institutions like mutual funds - I can identify (I think) their reasons for being long or short.

Also, would you know which commercial hedgers would trade in the mini s&p contact - somehow that seems conflicted to me <G>
