<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daniel M. Ryan, post: 1232152, member: 32253&quot;]That was me. The point I was making was that the other side were far from wearing white hats. If you want to see the Hunts as black-hatted, then you can interpret what I said as &quot;there were no white hats in the room.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a bit of a historical controversy over whether they were doing what they were widely accused of. One version said that they loaded up on silver because they thought it was a great investment, and got excited as the metal kept climbing. [You can insert a Texan joke here if you like.] Almost certainly, they were investors at the start.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether they were market-cornerers or mere pyramiders, it was still dumb of them. Even if the &#039;Crimex&#039; board hadn&#039;t intervened, their scheme would have fallen apart anyway. They plumb forgot the first rule of parabolic rises: sell into them, don&#039;t buy them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
