<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1179163, member: 26302"]They can raise margin requirements up to the point where no leverage at all is allowed. It is their market, and they can set the rules.

Silver is an imperfect commodity to try to price, and if we didn't have the CME it would be a much worst market to try to invest in, and most of the external money in the market today would go away because of those flaws. Its a case of be careful of what you wish for. How would we price silver without a market like the CME? How would you price your purchases or sales? Would you know $40 the dealer is charging is fair? </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
