JPM holds 62% of bank-held stock derivatives -- or is that really a U.S. govt. position?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
More great investigative journalism today from Pam and Russ Martens of Wall Street on Parade shows that JPMorganChase is listed as the owner of 62% of all stock derivatives held at all 4,914 federally-insured banks in the United States, a notional total of $3.3 trillion in derivatives.
The Martenses ask how anything like this possibly could be permitted by the U.S. government.

Robert Lambourne: Where should gold go if price suppression policy ever fails?

From time to time I am fortunate enough to have conversations with Chris Powell of GATA, who discusses his opinions on all matters concerning the gold market. Powell and Bill Murphy have done so much to expose the manipulation of the gold markets by the U.S. monetary authorities, which always seem to be trying to keep the gold price suppressed. This year seems to have been an extreme, almost maniacal example of this policy, which impairs price discovery by the international gold market.
