Yes I used to think that to. But one of me employees is a former option commodities trader and she told me that with the way commodities fluctuate and when people bet on margin there can be huge profits and losses. If you have ten dollars, borrow ninety, and bet 100, and you double your bet, you really have made $190 on a ten dollar bet. Of course it can happend the other way. What my employee thinks is that Hillary got lucky on a position, realized how crazy the whole thing is, and pulled out. Of course this all assumes she took positions on margin. Which I have never been able to verify.
