Well, I mean, IF the market is shrinking, and IF the market is responding only to actual market change, and IF some people want to buy carrots, and you don't have carrots, and you go "I'll get you carrots tomorrow, they're 20$, as you can see by the current price" and the next day you go buy them, and the price dropped to 10$, and you get to keep the difference ... then yeah, it can work.
IF you are certain the market is going down.
If you're actually betting in a market where the value can be manipulated, and you lose, and then complain that the people doing the manipulations aren't your people, so it's unfair ... well, then, they can go suck a fuck, they knew what they were getting into, they're professionals, no? ;-)
Besides, don't they have insurance for these kinds of thing? If they wanted to do something risky, without insurance, well, that's on them.
