There Has Been Some Forced Selling In The Commodities Complex

With MF Global going bankrupt – which was a gigantic commodities firm – there was a lot of artificial forced liquidation of commodities. People have to sell whether they like it or not. It’s artificial selling right now.

This happened before in 2008, when Lehman and AIG went bankrupt, they were both huge in commodities and everybody had to sell. - in CNBC
