Friday's COT report was released this afternoon, due to the Veteran's Day federal holiday (man it must be nice to take an extra 3 weeks off every year for every conceivable holiday!).
SILVER COT REPORT 11/14/11
The commercials increased their net short futures positions by 1,869 contracts, or nearly 10 million ounces during the week, a pretty substantial increase. Commercial open interest increased by 6,365 contracts over the week as shorts added 4,117 contracts, and longs added 2,248 contracts.
