Ted Butler urges CFTC to catch up with the latest CoT reports first

Section: Daily Dispatches

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

Silver market analyst Ted Butler today makes a compelling suggestion to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission: that to catch up with the weeks-long backlog in the commitment-of-trader reports in the commodity futures markets, the commission should begin with the most recent weeks, not the weeks whose reports have been delayed the longest.

USA Gold: Coins and Bullion Since 1973

USAGold, well known for its Internet site, USAGold.com, offers contemporary bullion coins and bullion-related historic gold coins for delivery to private investors in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is one of the oldest and most respected names in the gold industry, with thousands of clients and an approach to investment that emphasizes guidance and individual needs over high-pressure sales tactics. The firm's zero-complaint record at the Better Business Bureau makes it an ideal match for the conservative, long-term investor looking for a reliable contact in the gold business.

USAGold: Great prices, quick delivery -- all the time.


After all, Butler notes, the most recent reports are the ones with the information that is most valuable to traders.

Since he is a longtime critic of the CFTC, Butler doesn't expect the commission to heed his suggestion. But market observers probably will consider Butler's suggestion to be sensible and wonder why the commission would reject it.

One plausible explanation will be that the commission continues to abet the manipulation of the commodity futures markets, especially the monetary metals markets.

Butler's appeal is headlined "A Constructive Suggestion" and it's posted at GoldSeek's companion site, SilverSeek, here:
