Rather than start a new thread. It seems a source of historical carrying charges/storage charges hasn't been mentioned. Does one exist either for free or behind a pay-wall?

Roubini is clearly not a trader. He should have booked a profit and moved on.

It's just a rumour coming from some banks in new york who knows. LMAO at earlier post
