<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1174408, member: 26302&quot;]The main thing I would say in defense of the change to margin requirements is that in extremely volatile markets its not unusual for brokerages to up their requirements since that high volatility increases their risk dramatically.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always smile at the tone of these articles. Apparently anyone using highly leveraged positions to try to squeeze a market is just normal purchasing, but any action that leads to lower prices is &quot;market manipulation&quot;.&nbsp; Soros was not &quot;manipulating&quot; the market recently? if you really wanted an honest market, eliminate all leverage and make all participants to pay fully for every ounce they control. I don&#039;t think the silver bulls on this board would like those results much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: If anyone dislikes me posting the &quot;other side of the story&quot; on articles like this, please feel free to ignore me. I just try to even out the view for others reading. TYVM GaSilverFan for posting it, it was interesting reading. To me, there are always two sides of a story, and neither of them are the truth. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
