<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 122072, member: 3011&quot;]That isn&#039;t the way it happened dgoose.&nbsp; The Hunts did not manipulate the market.&nbsp; They were buyers of silver in large quantities, and a lot of it was through futures contracts.&nbsp; This is perfectly legal.&nbsp; Market manupulation implies some sort of price fixing or other illegal maneuver, which they never engaged in.&nbsp; Eventually, exchange officials changed the rules specifically to damage the Hunts and force the price down again by forcing the liquidation of their contracts.&nbsp; So it would be more accurate to say that the exchange officials were the manipulators and the Hunts were the victims, but the story was naturally spun differently.&nbsp; You can probably locate the story on the internet.&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
