The managing director of metals products at CME Defends CME's Adjustment of Silver Margin Rules

The allegations that the CME was trying to drive the silver price down is off the mark says Harriet Hunnable, the managing director of metals products at CME Group Inc., talks about the exchange's rules for silver trading. Last week, silver plunged 27 percent, the most since at least 1975, after CME raised margin costs. Silver bugs should look at this as a discount offered to you by the government , you can buy more silver at a discount , silver is money it is not an investment for making a quick buck , hold your silver assets you are sure that they will never lose value over time on the contrary the longer the better ....

Gold, Silver Futures Slump in New York as Dollar Strengthens Against Euro

Another bad day today for the precious metals , The price of silver losing a further 8%, gold sinking back to the $ 1,500 level. The prices of silver and gold have recorded significant losses today. The CME Group the company that manages the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange), has announced two further increases of the initial deposit required to secure transactions on the futures on silver. The news sparked a new shower of precious metals sales. The expiring July futures on silver at the NYMEX closed in fall of 8% to $ 36.24 an ounce. It was the strongest drop in session since December 2008. Since last Friday the price of silver has lost 25.4%. The gold futures expiring in June ended in a fall of 2.2% to $ 1,481.40 an ounce. It's been three weeks that the gold price did not close at these levels. To add to downward pressure on the precious metal was now also the strong recovery of the dollar. The greenback has appreciated against the euro by about 2%. The jump in the dollar weighed on all commodities in general.

Banksters use CME to Drive Silver Prices Down

Silver Manipulation Escalates as Desperate Banksters use CME to Drive Prices Down , a great opportunity to buy the dip , this opportunity may never present itself again ... CME raises silver margin requirements for 4th time .Margin requirement in silver: you have to put $15,000 down to bet on 5000 oz of silver. So $15,000 controls $200,000 of silver.Raising the margin requirement means you have to put more money down as collateral before you can bet on silver.

CFTC and CME prove once again why you should be buying silver

hold your silver . Buy if you possibly can..
Don't drink the cool aid coz happy days for silver holders are getting closer , Gold dropped $25, Apmex dropped their price by $10, and the silver drop hasn't been reflected in their prices.



I just checked out Ebay, 1oz SilverTowne bar sold for $37 + $1.75 shipping.JPMorgan and the Fed don't intimidate me at all. Margin requirements don't affect me at all since I own no financial paper. Physical gold and silver only. The longer they manipulate, the more time I have to buy physical cheap. Bring it on JP!This second margin requirement increase so soon after the last one smells of desperation by the bankers. As the paper and physical prices diverge the paper loses credibility and they start to look not just desperate, but silly as well. Desperate and silly is hardly the image that the masters of the universe want to cultivate.The CFTC is a disgrace. Ol' Bart Chilton assured me today that "it aint' over" and he's still trying. I hope he's right. Either way it's going to end badly for the paper holders.

How much physical you hold is all that matters
The CFTC is a digrace. Ol' Bart Chilton assured me today that "it aint' over" and he's still trying. I hope he's right. Either way it's going to end badly for the paper holders.

How much physical you hold is all that matters
