<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zuhara, post: 840593, member: 23099&quot;]The rumors about Comex technical defaults usually concern gold IIRC. Until one person, <b>any</b> person with a name stands up in public and says &quot;I wanted a bar and all they would give me was this lousy cash&quot; that&#039;s all they are IMO--rumors. Or until we receive credible reports of industrial users having supply problems. Obviously I wasn&#039;t speaking of myself as an individual investor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can take delivery of a gold or silver futures contract anytime you want, and you will receive your bar at spot price. Until that changes I take all talk of a &quot;disconnect&quot; between the paper and physical price as dealerspeak for &quot;I bought a whole lot of the stuff at $17 and don&#039;t really want to sell it for $14, but as soon as the price goes back up give me a call&quot;, or, most usually, the crowd over at Le Metropole talking their book.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Which as I said is fine with me up to a point, but I don&#039;t see why buyers should believe it. Of course a potential shortage exists in any commodity at any time for any number of reasons but that is a different thing altogether.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
