One could also ask exactly the inverse side of your questions about the shorts in the market which the investing world hear snicker everytime "gold" is spoken. but your point is well taken.

re: Jim Reilly, a partner in Goldman Sachs and top commodity dog, told a delegate at the FT conference that if buyers came in to push up the price of gold to $310 or $320, Goldman Sachs would offer unlimited amounts of gold paper to keep the price from going higher OK, Remember back a couple of years ago when Buffet took a big long position in Silver? Remember how he was investigated & it was widely reported he was ultimately forced to lease it back into the market? Can anyone here answer a question for me? Just how the HELL can this action by Goldman on the short side of one precious metal(many say the far less necessary one)be Legal but long side of the transaction in silver be outside the LAW? This is what PISSES me off!!!!! Selective Enforcement!
