John. . . based on the info at this site

cftc.gov

it looks to me like the COMS got 8734 contracts less short the S+P 500, while only getting 4546 contracts less long. That's a 4000 contract swing. On the E-mini they cot 15000 contracts longer (23,800-8800 approx). If each mini is one fifth, that's another 3K contracts "longer". Now, they're clearly still net short by a lot, but that's still a swing of some note, I think. Am I misreading the report, or are we just differing on whether it's of any note (and I make no claims to know if it is)?
