<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Merc Crazy, post: 1176702, member: 27417&quot;]Basically, the larger traders were using options (puts and calls, mostly) on silver to raise the price, and when you do that, you have to have a certain percentage of equity backing up that option.&nbsp; Now, the large trading houses are at risk of default and being screwed if a trader goes broke using puts and calls, so they raised the amount of cash/tangible assets required of the major movers to keep their current positions.&nbsp; Rather than pump more cash/assets into the push to get silver up, they dumped their options, causing prices to drop.</p><p><br /></p><p>At least that&#039;s my understanding.&nbsp; If I&#039;m off, I&#039;m sure someone will correct me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
