    Hi,

    I heard that the CFTC will be issuing it's report on Tuesday USA time. Anyone know/care to comment on what this is about and what it might mean for POS?

    Also, can someone educate me/post a link to an explanation of the impact of option expiry dates and comex physical delivery dates? I think options are expiring on 27 April and physical delivery is early May if I'm not mistaken. I haven't heard of any reports that the hedge funds will be standing for delivery for the third time in a row.

    Money grows on trees in USA (ok, and cotton plants) so it will be a failure to deliver, not a failure to pay that trips them up

    If you want to learn about the inside workings of the CFTC and COMEX, just follow this blog. Keeps on point and focuses on the important stuff.

    Thank you. It's good to have friends in other lands. If you ever need something from the States, I may be able to lend a hand.

    I'm going to have to vacation to Australia just so I can meet all of you. I'm a bit burnt out from work, so maybe I can go on a walkabout too in hopes of finding my true calling.
