Hey Lunch
I think Morgan Stanley was probably hoping that a major decaration like that would strengthen US currency, and drive gold down without haveing to do any shorting. Looking at the Kitco Chart I 'm hoping they are wrong. Seems gold turned up marginally at the same time they released that "Feel Good News" Who knows maybe they decided they better start covering the 20,000,000 ounce short position.
PS Warning
Don't ever assume that I know what I am Talking about. I read about the 20 million ounces but have no way personally of verifying it.
