This does contain silver's violent smash in the aftermath of the MF Global failure, where it appears the commercials used the opportunity provided by the forced liquidation of MF Global clients' commodities positions (likely net long) as an opportunity to jump long. It is noteworthy that the cartel used this forced liquidation/ sell-off to cover shorts/ increase longs, rather than dog-pile into the smash as we would typically in years or even months past.
