Bill’s Commentary:
“The chart on lease rates is a day old… they closed out on Friday at 200% to borrow silver. Also, you will notice the futures in NY are now $3 below spot in London. Jim used to always ask the question; ‘what is the value of a contract that cannot perform’. Are futures just now beginning to display what they are actually worth? Think about that…!”
