Friday, for a few delightful hours, we saw the free market working without manipulation, and then the COMEX and
banks said “enough”, and exhausted a boatload of short positions they accrued on the price rise until things
settled back down to their comfort level. Make no mistake, their acts are illegal as all get-out, and real market
demand will only get stronger, and much much higher prices are coming very soon.

Seems easier to double the margin requirement.

Does this mean they covered their short positions? If they did you would think the prices would have gone higher, not lower. Don't they really mean they dumped long positions?
