One thought -- this could have been the Commercial's knocking gold down prior to the expiration of the December gold options. If so, those who hold the December 400 gold options end up with nothing. Cute if that's what's taking place, and I don't for a moment doubt that that's what could be happening. Remember, the great majority of options expire worthless, and this is one way of making SURE that they expire worthless!!
