Agree, I think the pillaging is moving faster than everyone thought, so many signs that the Bernank is rapidly losing control! -ng-

I think you would find this speech extremely interesting. A CFTC commissioner discussing HFT but takes a side road into new rules on position limits on precious metals which must be implemented next month. Given that the commissioner noted that one player had a 40% stake in silver futures, it seems [seems being the operative word] that some unwinding of PM positions must take place, esp. in silver. Who knows what the 40% player has been doing, I don't know how to figure that out. cftc.gov

These men share a common goal: to protect the interests of big banks in the vast market for derivatives, one of the most profitable — and controversial — fields in finance. They also share a common secret: The details of their meetings, even their identities, have been strictly confidential. Drawn from giants like JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the bankers form a powerful committee that helps oversee trading in derivatives, instruments which, like insurance, are used to hedge risk.
