“The changes could have been announced prospectively, with the Hunts given some time to unwind their position. Instead, they were required to dump their contracts. Who benefitted?”
The revised rules did NOT immediately cause margin calls.
The 50% drop in MARKET caused the margin calls.
I am holding right now, so it doesn’t affect me right now. I got a couple more coins coming from the mint and that is it for right now.
I hope your mama doesn’t let you play the markets with real money ...
“I hope your mama doesn’t let you play the markets with real money ...”
Troll alert.
I managed my mother’s accounts.
not trolling ...
but .... ya a bit tongue in cheek ...
I was reading through the thread , enjoying your posts ...
I assumed you were the “devils advocate” ...the spice ...
every board needs a little pull and push. makes it interesting.
But as I read ... I started to wonder ... and I felt a bit guilty for seeing humor .
My concern ... if someone approached the market with the level of understanding that you exhibit, ... well it would scare me.
You remind me a bit of the mods on stock twits.
...
stir the pot , keep it hot ,...
... you are a scrappy little player
ok then ...
here's the game ...
as long as you post to me I will reply.
you may run away at any time ...
I will not post to you except as a reply...
it's called ....ping pong
are you ready?
on your mark ... get set ...... pong

My major holdings have broken posted here over the years.
Stop posting what you know nothing about.
“I hope your mama doesn’t let you play the markets with real money ...”
Stupid, juvenile comment. If you are going to troll me, up the level of discourse to an adult level.
,,, what a qualifier!

LOL! You trolled me. I only replied to your childish post.
“,,, what a qualifier!”
More than a troll deserved.
“TejasGaytor lies like a Democrat - he leaves out important facts to twist his messages into the shape he wants.”
I remember the ONE time you challenged my post. I resurrected an earlier post by you that showed YOU were the liar.
Remember? Where you made the prediction in 2024 that a US civil war would start in January 2025 ending in 2026 with THE US broken up into four new countries!
What a hoot you are.
Well ... since we are on a silver thread.....
Let's talk silver .... good with you?
Silver spot
USD/t.oz ... 53.001
of course that is from the comex at 8:51 pm
.....
It seems that 1.8 billion $ in dead paper was slammed into the system at about the same time that margin was raised...
and the lease rate rocketed.
Could you explain for us how that would or would not have an effect on the price of junk silver at the retail level.
... lots of interest on that subject currently.
thank you for your attention to this matter.
😂😂😂😂
