[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1906061, member: 26302"]Your link proves my case sir. Thanks?! The article states that the increased margin rule was put into effect because of Hunt's huge margin purchases. That is what I am saying. If Comex starts to worry the market is too erratic, and too much is being bought on margin, then the CME is at risk of having to replace this money if the market drops sharply. This is what they guarantee the markets, but they NEVER want to have to do it. So they manage margin requirements in order to manage their risk of having to do this. So, where in this does "mega-banks" and "governments" come in? Nowhere. Why don't you research the 100 other times the CME has raised margin requirements on things OTHER than PM? Pointing out one or two instances where it happened to PM, and conveniently not explaining it happens regularly in all commodity markets, is misleading in my eyes. This misleading selection of facts that is self serving is the bread and butter of pro and anti pm commentators. Just another example that people can quote FACTS all day long, (yes, this margin requirement change happened), but it does not mean you UNDERSTAND what it means. To do that, one must have KNOWLEDGE how the entire commodit market works. Its my biggest fear of the internet age. Way too many facts, way too little knowledge to properly understand the facts and put them in context.[/QUOTE]
