Perhaps shooting yourself in the foot is more accurate.

<<Alan - it's called 'hedging' - hedging involves a short sale and a subsequent covering purchase and a sale of the commodity into the spot market >>

Can you explain how hedging in the form of forward sales which until now has been the most popular form of hedging) is a short sale. I can't see it. A "gold carry" is a short sale but not a forward contract used as an hedge.
