RE: I think the short squeeze is a factor.The shorters are, I think, alighned to Baricks fortunes and K is being draged through the same mud. Production costs have risen significantly so watch this factor throughout the industry. However, with the increasing gold price, US$ printing presses and coming next year, K's fortunes increase significantly, so shorters are looking on a short term position that may unwind sooner rather than later. I think they make more money on the trading but the chances of a big squeeze is increasing as well as the US$ devalues. I think large daily swings will continue until the big squeeze.
