The Goldsmiths—Part LIII

By R. D. Bradshaw

Readers of the Goldsmiths have been exposed to the vast amount of manipulation and control present in the futures markets and particularly in the gold and silver markets. Suggestions have also been leveled at the question of options since they are being sold in the markets by the big banks involved in manipulating the markets. Accordingly, this Goldsmiths will broach the question of manipulating the sale of options.

My Recent Experience

For my own approach on the financial markets, I have mostly been staying away from the futures markets in general except for some options. But even on options, I am aware that the fat cat team of crooks manipulating the general futures markets is also manipulating the trading of options. To demonstrate this reality, let me recount a recent event that happened to me during the week that the futures’ contracts expired in grains in March 2009.

On the late Monday afternoon of that week, I saw a single option trade on a reasonably far out grain option that I was interested in (for Dec 2009). As noted in a prior Goldsmiths, these option sellers are becoming very cautious on far out contracts. For whatever reason, it is sometimes hard to buy options for anything much in the future. This is particularly true with gold and silver.

So, on this Monday, I saw a trade of Dec 2009 options at 7 ¼. I thought I would be glad to have some of those options at that price so I checked the bid and offer. The bid then was 7 ¼ and there was no quoted offer or ask. Since this trade had just happened, I decided that I would enter my bid at the 7 ¼ mark and see what happened. Well, that Monday, I didn’t get an execution and the day closed at 7 ¼. So the next day, I left my good till cancel order in place for some of these options at 7 ¼.

Well, the next day I failed to get a fill. And instead, just before the close, there was another one sale at 7 ½. Thereupon, the market closed that day at 7 ½. So the next morning I changed my order to 7 ½. That day I didn’t get a fill and another one transaction happened at 8 just before the market closed. Well, the next day (Wednesday), I changed my order to 8. And again, I didn’t get a fill. But there was apparently a trade at 9 just before the close. The next day there was a single trade just before the close at 9 3/8. I then backed off and said I quit on that turn.

Whatever else can be said about this move, it was clear that near the end of the trading session, someone bought or sold a single trade of this option for four consecutive days which caused the price to go up from around 7 to 9 3/8. As I stopped at that point I am not sure what happened the next day. I must also note that since these single sales happened just before the close, it meant that the item closed up for the day.

What This Means

Probably different people could have different explanations on this series of events. In fact, some would say that it was all only a coincidence. But, being suspicious as I am of the crooks running the markets, I deduced in my own mind that the particular option was being manipulated to get the price up. In fact, I see no alternative here.

I don’t know what the bid was on the item on the Monday morning involved as I didn’t check it. My guess is that it was 7 with no offers. The one sale that day in the late afternoon could have been made by the seller of the options through an accomplice or a hidden alternative account. I think that this process was followed the next few days to get the price up from 7 to 9 and 3/8. All along, the message being conveyed was that the market for this item looked good as it was going up (although the futures market for grains that Wednesday were sharply down). But I was never able to buy it on the way up.

The Bottom Line

Of course, different people can read divergent things into the above scenario. But my own suspicious mind, plus my understanding of how big of crooks these guys are, led me to conclude that the item was being manipulated up. I don’t think there ever were any intentions of the part of the options dealer to sell the item at 7. I think the plan was to take it higher than 9 3/8.

It must be noted that this particular event happened on a reasonably far out item with a thin market. Since the transactions were broker traded at the pits, there could have been some collusion there as well. Surely, the actual skullduggery would have to be different in the case of items with big volumes. But I think the principle could have some relevance.

It goes without saying that if this flow occurred with grains, it could just as easily happened with gold, silver or anything else. In fact, there is enough evidence already in existence suggesting that indeed gold and silver are the most manipulated and controlled of all commodities.
