I should not have suggested that this article was fake news, even inadvertent fake news for several reasons. First I certainly do not view the Globe and Mail as a fake news outlet nor this columnist. Second the article did indicate that the future positions were the speculative net positions. (It was not clear to em that there another group of traders, the non-speculative hedgers and I think that could have been made more clear). Third I should not be lending any credibility to Donald Trump's outrageous claims that the likes of CNN and the New York Times are fake news organizations.
