这根本不算什么。为了损人利己，米疣大幅度改游戏规则易如反掌。
公知看后清改金融规则大惊小怪，其实米疣为自己利益才最不择手段。

IF YOU'RE LOSING, CHANGE THE RULES:
By October 3, 1979, silver hit $17.88 an ounce.4 The two
major U.S. exchanges, COMEX and CBOT, started to panic:
They held a measly 120 million ounces of silver between
them, an amount typically delivered in a busy month.
With silver prices pushing to new heights as new buyers
rushed in, the exchanges became fearful that a default
(inability to deliver) was imminent.
The silver rush continued to accelerate, led by the Hunt
brothers and their Saudi Arabian business partners. The
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the
government’s futures watchdog, had become seriously
alarmed at the prospects of a shortage on the exchanges,
and tried persuading Bunker Hunt to sell some of his silver.
The billionaire resisted, believing that silver was a
long-term play with an integral role in the future global
economy. The CBOT, backed by the CFTC,finally decided to
put a stop to the Hunt brothers’buying—by changing its
rules.
Margin requirements were suddenly raised, and traders
could hold no more than 3 million ounces of silver
futures; those holding more were placed in forced
liquidation. Bunker Hunt cried foul, accusing exchange
board members of having a [massively short] financial
interest in the silver markets—an accusation that would
later be proven true.
Then, the U.S. Federal Reserve and its chairman, Paul
Volcker, added to the Hunt brothers’ troubles by
strongly encouraging banks to stop making loans for
speculative activity.
When Silver Sneezed, Gold Caught the Cold
On January 7, 1980, the other major U.S. exchange, COMEX,
changed its rules also. Investors were limited to 10
million ounces in futures contracts, and any amount
above that had to be liquidated by Friday, February 18.
On the very next trading day, Monday, January 21, as
silver reached a record high of $50 an ounce, the Hunt
silver hoard peaked at a mind-boggling $4.5 billion,
(that’s $43.5 billion in Shadowstats CPI-adjusted 2011
dolars!)
On the same day that silver hit $50 and silver futures
topped out at $52.50, gold’s price set a new record of
$850 and gold futures peaked at $892.
COMEX, terrified that it would be forced into default,
announced—with the backing of the CFTC—that trading
in silver would be limited to liquidation orders only,
eliminating any buyers.
With no new buyers, the price of silver could not go up.
So this rule was basically the same as saying, “Until
this rule is lifted, the price of silver will only go
down.” Of course, silver began to plummet, and on that
same day so did gold.
Was it just a coincidence that gold and silver peaked
at the same time?
Could it be that many large silver traders also held
gold?
Wouldn’t the gold traders on the exchanges have known
what happened to the silver traders and said to
themselves, “Oh my God…if they can do that to
silver, then gold is probably next”?
