"I assume it was done this way so as to prevent
anyone else from hopping on board. The pattern of trading on Friday also suggested
large accumulation. Large buying would come in and drive the prices up 1/4 or 3/8, and
then a 1/2 to 3/4 hour pause while they backfilled a little, and then boom, again a surge
of buying would come in.

Very interesting, Russell.
It's my contention that when the metals move, they will move
BIG. I think we saw that on Thurs and Fri.
Hope it continues next week.
If you want some darn good reading, look at this from
"The Privateer".
(If you poke around a bit, you'll see some really neat graphs, too.)

The declared short position of abx on the tse as of 03-13-98 is over 14 million shares. I do not know how many are short on the NYSE. If gold moves up substantially there could be a small short squeeze for all major producers who have big short positions.
