Vet, Frankly, I don't see how you, or anyone else outside Streetracks for that matter, can definitively comment on what goes on at GLD. If you've read the prospectus, you should know: 1. GLD can hold the gold through custodians 2. Who in turn can appoint sub-custodians 3. Who may use futures instruments and other derivatives in the course of their operations (which, frankly, raises a ton of other questions because if the GLD shares are exchanged for gold at 1/10 rate, there should be zero need for futures)but these positions aren't reported 4.And the gold is not inspected, nor insured. So, I've got to ask you, did you read the prospectus? T
