ted butler gave an interview in which he said that despite the recent rally in the silver price, the commitment of traders has not deteriorated. the speculative funds have not piled in on the long side, nor have the commercials added to their shorts. in addition, he said the cftc will be holding a public forum (finally) on position limits, and that it will be broadcast over the internet, and available for replay.
