san hedges 4000 0z......russian firm petropavlovsk plc hedges one half of production for next 14 months.......is this the tip of the iceberg? will more miners be hedging? will we have a repeat of barrick buying out its massive hedge position of the 90's.....will gold get locked into a narrow price band because of this hedging?.....even the producers are beginning to ship their pants.......oh i love them banksters trying to shake out those last pennies out the sheep...
