<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C G Memminger, post: 2031919, member: 71506&quot;]I have mixed feelings about AU and AG.&nbsp; If regulators leave them alone, metal prices will fluctuate with supply and demand, investor expectations, etc.&nbsp; But regulators can influence metal prices quickly and sharply by changing the reserve requirements for leveraged commodity investors (big boys with hundreds of millions in play). </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember a few years back when Silver hit an inter-day high over $50?&nbsp; Over the two weeks that followed, regulators increased the reserve requirement 3 or 4 times, and each raise prompted a flood of selling by the institutional big boys.&nbsp; The result sent silver back to the low 30s.&nbsp; The same can happen the other direction, when regulators lower reserve requirements.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tell me how to bet on the regulators, and I&#039;ll play.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
