    Just read it.

    Soros said he is not in favour of more regulation.

    The best stuff from Melvill's link comes from Clark McKinley from The California Public Employees’Retirement Plan.

    <blockquote><b>“Futures investments of all public pension funds are less than 5 per cent of commodities indexes</b> ... The actual impact in the market is small, a chip in the woodpile,” he added. “The price spikes stem from fundamental supply and demand dynamics.” </blockquote>

    He added: <b>“There are many cases of price spikes before any pension fund invested in commodities. There are current record food prices for which there are no futures contracts.”</b>

    But they only invest about a billion dollars so they must be a bunch of hacks as well.
