    For those needing refresher on the COMEX technical jargon:


    Stop
    - A term indicating that a delivery notice was given to the buyer. In delivery reports, COMEX shows both how many Delivery Notices were 'issued' (the short notifying that they would be delivered) and 'stopped' (the long receiving the delivery notice). http://about.ag/futures.htm
