Thanks, Vet.

I thought I had pretty well figured out the quotation you are deciphering -- albeit certainly not well enough to take a chance and post my thoughts -- but your post reveals I was only about halfway there.

I have saved it for refresher purposes.

For a veterinarian, you really know your investing... <vbg>

Thank you very much for that explanation VET. That is important to know. I knew what backwardation and contango's were but didn't think about how they get that way beyond basic supply and demand speculation going forward.

I could not have figured that out-lol. Now I know what people are wondering about when I try to explain wts-lol.

I read that several times and am still a bit foggy. Now back to reading it again-lol.

Thanks.

Boy, I had to work on that last long paragraph-lol. It was like thinking in reverse i.e. up is down and down is up-lol.

I kept wanting to think, but the shorts would be better in a contango-lol.

Thanks Vet. That is indeed a good posting. The only trouble is that according to my understanding the metal markets are in backwardation. Does that fact destroy your and their arguments ? ( i.e long roll-overs would be profitable)
