<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1582230, member: 22143&quot;]Silver &amp; Gold futures are not traded on the Chicago commodity markets like standard commodities nor the Nymex industrial metals market like standard industrial metals.&nbsp; &nbsp; Instead, Gold and Silver futures have their own unique market, the Comex, with special rules that only apply to them.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Comex specifically takes into account the monetary aspects of these metals.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>People (not saying you) often get into trouble when trying to explain Gold &amp; Silver futures trading because they don&#039;t understand this fundamental difference.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s nothing like the trading of pork bellies.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anecdotes to such commodities are logical non sequitur yet it&#039;s very common on Coin Talk for such comparisons to be made as absolute fact.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Because of these differences, it&#039;s possible for positions to be taken that don&#039;t reflect the reality of supply which are not possible with standard commodities like corn, pork bellies or anything else grown or dug up and consumed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Only strict enforcement of rules, regulations and financial laws make sure this doesn&#039;t happen.&nbsp; Now we all know how this works with the finance industry of late.&nbsp; So no conspiracy theories, no tin foil, no umbrellas, no chicken little.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a question of financial abuse, nothing more, nothing less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
