<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1305165, member: 29012&quot;]Talk about unfair, the leverage required for a silver contract is 43 times greater than for bonds. When has the CME ever lowered margin requirements for silver? If they have, it&#039;s been a while. Nothing on the entire exchange has margins anywhere close to where silver is on a percentage basis. You are correct that longs are also speculating the market in the same manner as the shorts. Margins should be abolished altogether. I haven&#039;t purported that the CME is biased against buyers, merely that they are skewing the price action to the point of a non-real market taking precedence over and controlling the real market. As for why the industry sells there, I don&#039;t know because I am not one of them. I could guess maybe because there aren&#039;t many alternatives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
