Regarding number 2. - I find it interesting that the Bloomberg article leaves out that, looking at that chart, the record high net long position from Hedgefunds corresponds with the record high of gold in 2011. As we know, gold's been down since then. I would look at the Hedgefunds' record short position now as a potential leading indicator of a reversal in gold.
