Heinz, Obviously the commercials don't stubbornly short at 290 every time. Sometimes they sell short at 320; sometimes at 400; sometimes as low as 280. We have no choice but to adjust. It's like sailing; you can't curse at the wind like some gold bugs do; you have to tack with it. The question is not why the commercials are shorting, since we can never really know that; the only question is what your proper investment or trading action should be. As for the U.S. dollar, it was in a sharp downtrend for a few weeks so it is normal for it to make a recovery attempt. That's headed much lower IMO.
