Underwriting, issuing or

regulated futures commission

However, the regulated
commission merchants will still
be able to serve as brokers on
“puts” or “calls;" that is, they
may find buyers or sellers to take
the opposite side of their clients
option transactions.
Alex C. Caldwell, ad
ministrator of the Commodity
Exchange Authority, said the
action is being taken to prevent
registered futures commission
merchants from becoming in
solvent as a result of sudden
demands for funds to pay option
holders and thus being tempted to
dip into regulated commodity
customers’ funds to meet their
obligations.

At a Departmental hearing last
May, a CEA spokesman testified
that several option dealers, who
wrote option contracts on
nonregulated commodities, had
gone into bankruptcy when they
could not pay off on “calls” in
their clients’ favor. “Puts” and
“calls” are options to sell or buy
commodity contracts at the
prevailing prices within a
specified period.
When the market moves up or
down'the allowable daily price
limit for a number of days, the
option dealer can be locked in or
out of the market and as a result
end up with a large loss, ac
cording to Mr. Caldwell.
Therefore, the Department
decided to restrict registered
futures commission merchants to
acting only -as brokers when
dealing in nonregulated com
modity options. The effective
date of this new regulation was
delayed until January 2 to give
any futures commission mer
chant, who is currently writing
nonregulated commodity option
contracts, a Chance to phase out
of this type of operation.
