"So what was common back then was for the broker representing high bracket liberal hollywood types (or rt winger-haliburton types) to open a contract both sides and put the one who needed the loss on the losing end. All this done for the writeoff."

That brings back painful memories of when I worked for the government and was involved with tax shelters. Butterfly straddles and other incomprehensible stuff.
