george, I suggest you purchased Reynolds Wrap. I tried to save a buck and bought the Costco Food Service wrap, and its no damm good. <They> can still read your thoughts. Thanks for attempting to straighten this out. I'm curious only because I've thought of parking some cash in GLD when I'm bullish on the metal but not miners. All my gold is 3D, and there is no debate about that existing and the possibility of shorting it is zero. GT TH (stands for Tin Hat)

Mid Feb. Short Interest in GLD was 7,866,246 DOWN That's still 24 tons of gold George, that some poor suckers are holding shares for that isn't covered by the metal in GLD's vaults.. and they have had 9 trading days since then to add to that short position (assuming that it was accurately reported in the first place). Market makers and specialists don't report short sales made for their own accounts and naked shorts are never counted until there is a default in delivery...
