[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 799835, member: 7856"] I guess my next question would be how much of a commodity would a buyer or seller have to control to actually corner a market now? In the late sixties the soybean market was cornered and controled by having only 10% of the market controlled by one family. So if you have numerous producers but only 10 end purchasers of a commodity and no one else was allowed to buy that commodity because speculation was not allowed, how long would you feel it would be before there would be collusion among the end purchasers to set a price?
