This may not and probably is not the correct group for this, but I hope the moderator will let it through for the group.
In the current market situation, a lot of folks are attempting to blame "Speculators" for price fluctuations.
In my feeble attempt to make sense of this; is a "Speculator" anyone that does not take procession at the end of a contract and it makes no difference if it is pork bellies, orange juice, or oil. Am I missing something or is this it in a nutshell?
thanks cil
I really enjoy this group
