>>The Hunts were heavy on margin so the U.S. regulators torched them by merely raising the margin requirements.<<

I guess the majority will find my comment unnecessary, but still...

The regulators changed the rules to eliminate the possibility of anybody cornering the market "the Hunt's way". That the brothers
ended under wheels, well, things happen. SEC or whoever in
any case was not out to get their behind but to iron out a questionable detail in the way the market game is played.
