Crude Oil Drops 40%...

Quote from rubibond007:

In Fact (and maybe im wrong) but probably over 60% of the Nymex Volume came from hedgers, Not especulators.

Given the tremendous amount of money that has been indexed to commodities over the last several years, I would strongly disagree that over 60% of the volume on the NYMEX is from hedgers.
 
Hi landis, you are probably right, but the OTC market Need some place to hedge their physical positions. You can also Hedge you'r self at the OTC market using brokers like Icap for example and hedge your self with OTC swaps etc etc.

so yes, you are probably right.

good trading.
 
Quote from TT1:

A coordinated effort by the Fed and Finance ministers around the World requiring Futures Exchanges (nymex and others) to raise the margin requirements from 5% to say 30-50% of the nominal contract value would help take the speculative bubble out of this market. Crude Oil would fall 40-50% in short order!!!

Currently, it only take $5,250 in margin to control 1 contract at the NYMEX.

Raise margin requirements, see Crude Oil drop!

Yes, it would hurt the Exchanges as far as volumne is concern, but come on, all these guys have being making obscene amounts of money the past 7 years!!!

I just typed a lengthy reply to explain to you why you shouldn't stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

Then I decided that i'm helping you too much by explaining why you are wrong, so I deleted the post.

The fact is, I want you to go around proposing your incredible plan...I want you to get nowhere in your efforts. I want you to spend countless nights blaming everything on the speculators...when you probably don't even know what a speculator is, and why they exist in our world.

Do you even know what a future is, and why they are traded?

Lastly, I'm busy making oil money off hard working proletariats like yourself...slowly but surely I will suck you and your family dry....along with everybody on your street.

Please don't insult us.

I believe in free markets.

Temporary raising margin requirements on Crude Oil, Gold, Grains etc... would take the speculative bubble out of these markets!!!


Look for the cause, not the effect.

I will give you a hint.......only three letters though, so it might require some thought to fill in the blanks

FED____ R_____E

Raising margins requirements will surely help. But this is only a ploy by the special interest groups to hide the real cause......(another hint)

Quote from jeb9999:



You sound just like the idiots that banned futures trading in a particular commodity years ago. And the reason that futures trading in that particular commodity was banned was because prices were too low, not too high. Do you even know what commodity it is that it is illegal to trade futures on in the USA? Do you think that banning futures trading in that particular commodity has helped that cash market?

Not sure what commodity they banned, please tell us.

Quote from jeb9999:

Liquid markets with free and open price discovery are the only way to properly establish prices.

Agreed.
