that's amazing, especially when you consider that the commercials' "natural home" ("preferred habitat" in CFA-speak) is to be long. whenever there is a rare flip like that it's something to keep an eye on. a similar one i've noticed is that the dumbest of dumb money (small specs) are almost always short CL--they have been short almost the entire past 4 years. whenever they go long, which is very rare, there's a good chance CL and energy stocks will plunge. they went flat and then long at the end of January this year, which was the worst time to get into energy stocks.

Ild, any ideas on the reasons for this extreme position and what it might be hedged with? Seems like it's been going against them for nearly a month now. Thanks. Geo.
