John and I answer a number of your questions and then talk about the changing Commitment of Traders report. Usually the Speculators (hedge funds) are wrong and the Commercials (big banks) are right. If that's the case then it appears that the Commercials are less invested to the downside and the Specs are more committed to the downside. This could go on for a while. But it's looking better for the metals after the recent sell off.
