I am trying to find an online website or publication that provides
weekly or bi-weekly analysis of the "Commitments of Traders" (COT)
report, published by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission).

However, I am not looking for a website advertising a "trading system"
based on the COT report charts (i.e., www.upperman.com). I am looking
for qualitative analysis, i.e. a publication or website that produces
a narrative, discussing where the positions of each trader/hedging
group are in relation to their historic/recent averages, etc.

Thank you.

Most of the reports I see are commoditiy-specific, like the
agricultural write-ups here:


http://www.cattlenetwork.com/content.asp?contentid=53096

CORN -- Friday?s CFTC Commitments of Traders report for futures and
options combined showed funds in long positions up 7,169 lots to
299,183 contracts while those in short positions were down 22,519
contracts at 110,437 lots.  Cash sellers that priced up to 40%-50% of
new crop corn are still in good shape.  Those in short positions on
the DEC?06 corn futures contract at the $265/bu on up to 50% of the
crop should remain there.  Producers should hold off on pricing any
more of the 2007 corn crop unless using a basis contract.



Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?  If not, can you be a
bit more specific about what you need.

Thanks.

I am more looking for a trader's perspective, an analysis that will
say where each major market participant group is relative to historic
norms, what groups seems to be building positions, etc. A report like
the Corn one you posted is more from a producers perspective, as
opposed to a market speculator's perspective.
