The biggest short squeeze in the world?, page-2813

@squarepants

that is a perfect example of why none of the longs can square off against the investment banks shorting gold/silver - even with the total ratio of comex contracts/physical gold only 3:1

its all about power at a point

unless you've got a balance sheet that can soak $4billion in implied buys with a $us100 price difference on the day and handle the price uncertainty until the position is resolved - no sane 'long' player is able to make the 'paper' field equal

which is why - when you get grip and rips like last March 2020 - you know that at least some investment banks are 'sell- to- buys'

generally they are simply puking the paper market to hurt retail, rinse cfd exposures and margin stops - clear their own short book - so they can bias long side for a big rip higher

before paper futures that kind of price action often occurred - just much more obvious now - and the artificiality and frequency of it is higher in gold/silver than any other stock or commodity Ive followed
