I dont know if this guy is correct but i woukd bet so. He explains the sell off in silver yesterday, compares it to past silver markets and explains why this time raising comex margins isnt gonna work.
If you havnt figured it out the chinese have cornered the physical silver market. JP Morgan chase is on board with it as jp owns approximately 750 million ounces of physical silver accumulated over the last 14 years. Silver is in a supply deficit and the chinese have cornered the market. It is most probably going much much higher. Jmo

That guy in the video is clueless about margins. Margin increase was for everybody that is short as well. Would have thought the majority of those short would have been put into tighter squeeze than those long with margin increase that takes effect when the market opens back up.
Looks to me with the way Silver has been trading a margin increase of $2000 was justified. $4.50 oz daily price increase. or drop is more than the required $22,000 per contract.
Think when Badger bought his silver he said margin was $9000 per contract.
I didn't watch the video but every FCM has the ability to set their own margins. Currently it takes 46425 to put on one contract long, and 80177 per short. The mini silver contracts are in that 23k area for a long and 40k for a short. These are the current margins at my broker.
