market intervention becomes evident, page-7

absolutely accurate post..a mate of mine who has many mates in the HF game said many are cracking into any liquid names or markets they can to raise cash for the inevitable (lagging) round of quarterly redemptions..I asked what names and he mentioned huge liquidity wrong time of the cycle stocks, GOLD physical and futures and selling 'gold straddles' - a dead easy way to raise premium but creatting huge loss risk should gold move higher again..and subsequent need to cover shorts..the dow and to a greater extent gold are gonna rally 10% in the next 8 weeks or so aas this all settles..
