Lather, Rinse, Repeat

The commercials increased their net short positions in both silver and gold.

Ed Steer's comments (keep in mind Ed differentiates between the Big 8 commercial shorts and the managed money shorts who tend to be on the wrong end of the trade):

"Returning to the precious metals...with the Big 8 commercial shorts not adding to their short positions by much in either silver or gold over the last several months, they obviously know something that we don't...at least not yet. And as Ted's "sea change" discovery in December's Bank Participation Report shows, the bulk of the short positions in both these precious metals now rests on the shoulders of two or three non-bank commercial entities. The stage appears to be set for the end of this price management scheme that's been ongoing for the last 50+ years."
