In such a case he could have already opened multiple accounts in his associates names and then could distribute the contracts in such a way that it is untraceable. It is something obvious that whenever market goes up or down so dramatically, regulators always looks at it with a suspicious eye, and probe and bring out some rule to stabilize it. what could have been the alternate solution was that they could have opened multiple accounts with other people's detail when the regulation was passed to reduce the single trader holding and then sell them at a later date gradually.Manojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233921532047471774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009955459140147682.post-25532923778084863952009-08-01T03:54:40.570+05:302009-08-01T03:54:40.570+05:30For every action there is an equal and opposite re...For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As can be seen here, the very purpose of buying Silver was not met while the prices kept on increasing. They forgot to count in regulatory risk. The worst problem in buying too much of a commodity is being the very market yourself. You sell the market falls...u might be sitting on a pot of gold but as soon as you touch it... its no more gold... something like we have heard of King Midas in fairy tales. What they might have done is by asking their close associates to hold the silver forward contracts due to new regulation. They could have also tried to sell-off the contracts in other markets which were insulated to US markets. It is successful only till the time when it comes into the recognition of the market.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962841969351159810noreply@blogger.com
