<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1229200, member: 26302&quot;]Is it always? I have not studied the history of the margin requirements at the CME and the timing versus market activity. Has margin easing never been done? Have you studied these particulars Cloud? If so I would love to here about when and how much they ease margin requirements and what those affects were on pricing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Margins are usually tightened in periods of high volatility to prevent instability in the market. I see nothing wrong with what was done. If the CME would put in daily up limits but not down limits or the like I would agree with your comment. Always remember margin by itself is market manipulation, you are able to buy or sell MUCH more PM than you physically have cash for. Buyers using margin are manipulating the market just as much as short sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Naivete cuts both ways, and I see a lot of it with people always trying to blame a boogeyman when what they believe a market should do doesn&#039;t appear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
