That&#039;s how banks got caught with their pants down, when prices shot up they couldn&#039;t deliver. That in turn starts a short squeeze, because contracts are heavily leveraged just like put and call options. <b>I don&#039;t fully understand it myself.</b> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> What I do know is that when large banks start to fail, the government usually steps in and bails them out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
