The question never has been to be right or wrong, but to discern on which info/signals the largest part of the intervenants move. Comex trade represents only a small fraction of global trade. Among those Comex trades, even a smaller number are investors who do not have access to tax-free trades. IMHO, long-term vs. short-term tax brackets is trivial although it would be used in a prospectus. Say that, if I had $100k, even $20k to speculate on the metals, even as an US citizen, I would look for such a broker offering me a perfectly legal way to secure profits. Escaping taxes is illegal. Trading is such a way that the tax burden is legally kept to a minimal is money management. Few retail investors would make that step as money management is presented as un-patriotic. While corporate is offered tax shelters. Just have a look at how many SP500 companies are Bermuda based.
