Market Cornered: JPMorgan Owns Over 60% Notional Of All Gold Derivatives
Perhaps the only question we have after seeing the attached table, which shows that as of Q3, 2013 JPMorgan owned $65.4 billion, or just over 60% of the total notional ($108.2 billion) of all gold derivatives in the US, is whether the CFTC will pull the "our budget was too small" excuse to justify why it allowed Jamie Dimon to ignore any and all position limits and corner the gold market?
And purely as a reference point, the chart below compares the total value of gold held in JPM's vault (registered and eligible) as of Friday's closing price with its reported gold derivative notional holdings.
Finally, for the purists out there, we realize that gross is not net... until there is a breach in the derivative counterparty collateral chain, and gross becomes net.

counterparty is not a problem for tbtf
if it moves against them they will either aig it or bust the trades. jpm and the squid don't lose.
They must be net short, as they are with silver, but by how much?
Not a lot of content here.
Are you so sure ?
They talked it down all last year, and are they acting for the PBOC ?
Not sure at all, and I think the whole concept of paper gold is a species of fraud, but position size doesn't tell us much of anything. Four companies are on one side or the other of nearly all grain trades. Are they trying to corner the grain market? I think not.
"Derivatives" is too broad a term to have meaning, and no, net does NOT become GROSS under market stress.
That's why god made options and spreads. Where's the beef?
But what about position limits? What about all Ted Butlers emails to the CFTC? How could Bart Chilton not have seen this? Was his hair in his eyes?
I asked about that on another thread a couple of weeks ago.
As a rule, position limits do not apply to market makers, or hedgers. They really can't. Commodities are a different animal than stocks. If ADM or Cargill own a hundred ships full of grain, they are damn well entitled to hedge that on the market.
The truth behind the banker "suicides" has been revealed:
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1735.htm
The three Western bankers targeted for elimination by Obama regime “black team hit squads,” this report says, were Deutsche Bank executive Bill Broeksmit, 58, found dead at his home in Chelsea, south west London, on 26 January, JPMorgan Chase & Company vice president in technology operations Gabriel Magee, 39, who died after falling from his London headquarters on 28 January, and chief economist at Russell Investments, and former US Federal Reserve economist, Mike Dueker, 50, found dead at the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State on 31 January.
The “common link” between these bankers, this GRU report continues, began this past year after two JP Morgan whistleblowers confessed that their bank manipulates the gold and silver markets, which led to this past weeks stunning announcement that Europe's largest bank, Deutsche Bank, would withdraw from the appropriately named gold and silver price “fixing”, as European regulators investigate the manipulation of precious metals prices by Western banks.
Deutsche Bank executive Broeksmit, called among the “finest minds” in his field, and Russell Investments Dueker, ranked among the top 5 percent of economists by number of works published, this report says, were at the forefront of the European investigation into JPMorgan gold and silver price manipulation and had as their “inside man” JPMorgan tech guru Magee who oversaw his banks computer systems built for this crime.
Let me get this straight. You're saying the Obama administration is the anti-banking anti-gold-manipulation vigilante?
I just became a staunch Obama supporter. But let me sober up before I totally make up my mind.
Obama does what he is told and JPM can short gold whenever they want.

"Concentration is the litmus test for manipulation." - Ted Butler
As a non-professional student in the study of gold, in many forms, and for decades, I believe that I am comfortable with the below six assertions:
1) Everyone should own as much physical gold (and some silver) as they are comfortable with.
2) There is little doubt that severe manipulation is going on, but there are many MANY conflicting theories/conspiracy theories out there. I am not sure which, if any, hold the most water
3) The enormous "paper gold"/physical gold ratios likely mean that some sort of a big crunch will happen when enough wake up and want their physical. Around that time, the owners of physical will not sell until the price becomes very high ("$55,000").
4) Gold has been a Store of Wealth for around 5000 years. I contend that it still is and will be for as far into the future as I feel comfortable making said judgement.
5) Gold has acted as insurance against financial malpractice for a long time.
6) The lack of regulatory action sure does look suspicious...
***
Is JPM acting in some nefarious illegal fashion? It looks like it, but who knows. We may not know for a long time.
Gold is the best investment, particularly if more buy it. That lessens the ownership concentration. When FEWER people own the gold, it is worth LESS, overall.
Buy gold!
EDIT:
Wow, that was a fast junk. Serial junkers should show some courage and display their reasoning. Unless they're banksters or Obama voters...

Nice job.\repeat post..
Derivative exposure with banks is 4 times the amount of GDP. ;)
Dollar is destroyed...derivative timebomb blows and takes the entire fiscal system with it...good for gold.
Banks blow up (4x Lehman warhead)...derivative timebomb blows and takes the entire fiscal system with it...good for gold.
Either way, humanity gets an unhealthy dose of SHTF as the Great Reset commences to wreck havoc.
No "SHTF" and no "great reset". Stop hoping for it.
Gold derivatives are casino bets that can be paid off in dollars, and JPM has unlimited cash from the Fed to pay off any losing bet.
Dollar collapse won't be a "SHTF" moment either. Dollar index won't show any collapse because all curriences in the index are manipulated to collapse together.
The only collapse will be in purchasing power, which isn't shown in the index.
I´m not talking about just gold derivatives, I´m talking about the entire $1 quadrillion+ derivatives market that is one black swan away from blowing up. When it goes (and four TBTF banks collapsing is easily a black enough swan to trigger such an event), it will take everything with it. Lehman almost did it in 2008, and it was only stopped because of the monsterous amounts of fiat that were, and are, being printed out of thin air...but now the Fed´s ammo supply is almost gone.
I am not hoping for a collapse, because when it happens, it is going to be the death sentence for untold milllions of people. I am only trying to prep and stack, and hope it will be enough to get through the Great Reset without ending up as another statistic. I seriously doubt that the Fed is going to be able to maintain any type of control of this global fiscal system much longer, especially if the dollars they continue to print become worthless, and all international trust in the dollar is lost
"but now the Fed´s ammo supply is almost gone."
Could you explain why this is true? Not a financial expert here. My rudimentary understanding is: As long as the Fed can manage the bond market (so that US govt. has the credit it needs) and velocity of money supplied, or fudge the inflation numbers, they can print for a loooong time, right?

The value of work is a definite thing. It does not derive its value from what it is traded for. As long as people continue to trade their work, things will be relatively well, regardless of the payment system in use at the moment.

People first, things second, numbers third.

Buy silver!
Ha, haven't written that in awhile.
Silver and platinum are both good. For big money looking to play it safe, I would put the bulk into Au.
But, by all means buy silver if that's what you like. Any PMs out of the hands of the banksters and in the hands of people who know value is all good.
PM is the only long term investment to make right now. Buy a house and land if you can nail your deed to a banker's forehead. Buy stocks if you think corporations are going to inherit the economy. Buy bonds if you think the governments and municipalities will stay solvent. But buy gold if you want to handle your own money.
If you are looking at taking gold out of the hands of the central banks who own 99% of the gold for the first time in history, only a people owned central bank that can print its own money might make a very small dint in the incredible ownership of gold purchased through endless money printing by the private central banks.
Um, no. Some 53% of the world's gold is held as jewelry, just 18% or so by the central banks. Please either get your facts right, or cite your sources.
http://tinyurl.com/9a2fves
While not agreeing with the criticism, I do wonder about a related point: Gold seems to be easily manipulated because it is a small market. These stats emphasize the point. Jewlery is not really a financial hedge as most who own it have very small quantities of low purity. Thus, the CBs own 38% of the remainder, which seems enough to dominate. CBs own more than half of "investment" stocks...
6) The lack of regulatory action sure does look suspicious...
something to think about..
You are correct that gold is best when more people own some. Gold based currency serves the rulers and bankers well when the gold is in few hands. That's why some reccomend silver based currency, it's in more hands.
DoChenRollingBearing, have you studied the fact that the central banks have become the "gold buyer of last resort"?
It is like real estate. When there are too many sellers during periods of austerity, those who default have to sell their assets and the banks lock the house and take it out of circulation to create an artificial scarcity. It is the same with gold. If the central banks do not buy thousands of tons to take it out of circulation completely then a massive gold crash/gold derivative crash.
Without the gold buyer of last resort, the price of gold would have crashed in a magnificent fashion ages ago. The Central banks have to work very hard to make sure the price remains high when people are selling their gold teeth to cover debt obligations.
In short there is no blood on the streets when for the first time in history the 1% own 99% of the gold and are working hard to prevent cheap gold on the streets.
Imagine what would happen to gold if there was no gold buyer of last resort. Or QE-Gold. ??
I advised my son to get out of gold at 1600 a couple of years ago from memory when i first caught onto this scam. That is why the central banks are buying thousands of tons of gold.
The margin calls on gold derivatives are another rant.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/176972#.Uu4Iwvtc5iR
Don't be so sure all will end as planned. There is more to it that. The 1% have done nothing to earn what they now own. NOTHING. In fact, they've taken the ~low road~ at every intersection. It doesn't settle right in this world knowing these pieces of shit have all the gold. This isn't over yet. Sleep with one eye open and don't give any more advice. This house of cards stand that has been erected by the 3rd generation scoundrels who murdered their way to the top are not fit to run a popsicle stand.
http://rt.com/news/israel-palestinians-boycott-settlements-us-519/
I don't shop often but when I do, I refuse to buy Israeli-made products.
You're boycotting matzo balls?
Why didn't I think of that?
"I don't shop often but when I do, I refuse to buy Israeli-made products."
Since July 2011 it's been illegal in ISR to call for a boycott of ISR products & services (most particularly those from illegal West Bank settlements - the primary object of the legislation).
In the USA it is illegal to directly or indirectly boycott ISR goods & services (see: the Export Administration Act, the Ribicoff Amendment and its succedents), and in fact it is illegal for you to even ask whether some item of commerce is from ISR, and furthermore if the vendor fails to report you to the government (via reports to the Commerce Dept) then it too has committed a federal offense. That applies to individuals and to businesses and to foreign subsidiaries of US businesses.
"the criminal penalties for each "willful" violation can be a fine of up to $50,000 and imprisonment for up to ten years."
* Abraham Ribicoff (Likud-West)
If I could, I would boycott Palestinian products, but they don't make any. Their contribution to the world was the suicide bomber.
Damn! The mind boggles.
Superlatives escape me.
@TheGoldMyth: I freakin' knew it... Those central bankers not only drove up the price of gold, since they were the buyer of last resort, but also did the same thing to oil, aluminum, copper, wheat, corn, oats and even cereal. My gas and cereal have gone up exponentially during the past decade.
Could you do us all a favor and kindly ask them to quit buying up all the oil and cereal? I'd really like for those prices to crash as well.
Thanks HungryPorkChop
In my capacity as a amateur self taught economic climate psychiatrist, i will ponder you question and hopefully provide an answer in the near future.
So far i have been working on your problem and this seems to address your need.
"You Can Buy A House For One Dollar Or Less In Economically Depressed Cities All Over America"The enormous "paper gold"/physical gold ratios likely mean that some sort of a big crunch will happen when enough wake up and want their physical.
sorry that makes me laugh.....has that ever actually happened?
dude, no - but for the very salient reason that they never rehypothecated gold to a 112:1 ratio before
thats why its never actually happened
or rather - it has happenned before in a way, in history when failing empires increasingly diluted their gold coins with cheaper metals
There will come a time when those who bought and paid for gold will call for physical delivery, but will be told that they will not be getting any actual gold, and will get a surrogate or nothing instead.
..or in the instance of countries seeking to repatriate their gold, they will be told that it will take decades and that the first installment will be only 5% of their expatriate holdings.
DoChenRollingBearing: you postulate: "When FEWER people own the gold, it is worth LESS, overall."
So now i can wait patiently for DCRB's/ZH's of any ilk analysis of 'what happens when the central banks make up 99% (Figuratively speaking) of the demand ?', approximately. I call them, the central banks, "gold buyers of last resort".
If you can adress this question, it wil be the first time on ZH the matter has been taken up that i know of. I followed ZH for years before joining and think i might know a thing or two by now in a hobyist capacity. I joined just to find someone here with the intestinal fortitude to reason an answer to this very scenario we all face.
Maybe gold marketing has fossilised opinion so it cannot be questioned?
I am sure the JPM question will look after itself efficiently after this in my case
Thanks in advance..
@ GoldMyth, I think you confuse the aggregate demand of paper gold for that of the actual physical, that you contend is being bought by the CB's to save the market (as a buyer of last resort). For one who professes to be an astute follower of the market and avid reader of ZH, I am perplexed that you have settled on this conclusion, as it shows a rather lack of understanding of the market and how the disconnect between paper and physical distorts the market. This price discovery method works only to the extent it allows for certain entities to manipulate the market in the direction of their choosing. One only needs to reconcile the existence of motive to complete the circle... for that we look to the FED, and motive be a plenty.
funthea.....Thankjs!!...Another way of putting it is to compare the 1% who are not born into debt slavery and avoid it using QE, derivatives/etc with the 99% who are debt slaves in most cases before they are born.
These are the 1% or less who are the gold buyers of last resort. Generally, this species/class can print money or leverage assets. The problem for the 1% are margin calls, and maintaining scarcity of their chosen asset, gold, houses, or any other asset away from the 99%.
This 1% class have mastered and fine tuned the art, discovered quite by accident, of turning gold into lead. Or any other hard asset into lead.
In my opinion as a hobbyist economic climate psychiatrist.
Trade wars, then real wars of course. Nobody else wants gold which is why Germany has theirs and India dropped most of their import barriers and taxes on pms. Libya, IMHO, is a very interesting case study on modern day pirating and how it never pays to advertise your holdings or run counter to the patch as you will be corzined. This will go on for a very long time and most people don't have a clue even who the real players are.

TheGoldMyth
I addressed your comment about the central banks owning 99% of the gold above, they do not, they only own some 18%, see link.
***
Re your present question, the CBs will NOT be the 99% of any demand. You need to understand that there are many, many of us out here who want and do buy gold. When there are economic problems, many of us will buy MORE. I will.
The only central bank that is a buyer of last resort that I know of is The Central Bank of DoChenRollingBearing.
I was thinking the same about that post. If you think CBs own 99% of the gold you are operating with very bad information. It's hard to take any of that argument seriously when its core precept is so clearly flawed. I'm not sure where you could find such hogwash other than simply making it up.
Thanks for the reply "Central Bank of DoChenRollingBearing."
I am speaking figuratively when i use these numbers. And have said so often enough in my other comments here on this very interesting question.
In my opinion, This is why the central banks/government in China have asked for help from the 99% of the population there. Buying physical gold is hard work, even if you can print as much money as you like (Figuratively speaking.)
By taking gold out of circulation, this increases scarcity.
Here is what happens when there is no scarcity. (Even if it just a regional phenomena.)
"You Can Buy A House For One Dollar Or Less In Economically Depressed Cities All Over America"
http://investmentwatchblog.com/you-can-buy-a-house-for-one-dollar-or-les...
You yourself, are a central bank as you admit, and are asking for help here at ZH to make gold scarcer by taking gold out of circulation. Just like the 1% who do this every day. It is hard work.
At DCRB ---my contention is that the fewer that want gold the less value it has--(as opposed to the fewer that own it) A small but quite significant difference --- just saying--
The difference between "Want" and "Have" becomes increasingly poinent when in times of crisis, like when the FED devalues the currency.
@ my buddy g speed!
I worded poorly my remark. My point is that the more gold is spread around, the more likely it will be worth more.
And I think that if the chips are down, more people will want gold. I hope I explained my view better.
DoChenRollingBearing
In this quote of yours previously, is magnificiicent, and, i know you are just making a joke, but it is brilliant because it explains the dillema of central banks ending up with 99% of the gold (Figuatively speaking.) that they cannot sell back to the public who have become debt slaves (The 99%) recently, or at some point in time.
"The only central bank that is a buyer of last resort that I know of is The Central Bank of DoChenRollingBearing."
In the case of the article i linked in my previous reply to you,
"You Can Buy A House For One Dollar Or Less In Economically Depressed Cities All Over America"
This is what happens to houses when the 1% own 99% of the real estate via money printing. This is why i postulate the central banks have perfected, and fine tuned the method of turning everything including gold into Lead.The psychology of PM's enthusiast is to be like a central bank, or in some way to get others to immitate what the central banks are doing. "OHHH, look!!, the central banks are doing!! If i do what they are doing, then i too can be amongst the 1% who own gold. Maybe i too can learn how to leverage my physcial asset like JPM??
If you are sucessful and can imitate the central banks (JPM) and leverage the physical gold you have, then you also need to be on the lookout for physical gold on the streets and very quickly take it out of circulation to preserve the scarcity of your own gold. If you do not buy up excess gold in circulation, you might get a margin call when the gold you leverage loses value, like the houses that only cost 1 dollar.
Using your power of printing money, you can achieve that, but it is hard work and you constantly need to be on the lookout. That is why governments who are owned by central banks need to ask for help amongst the 99% like the government in China asking its 99% to buy gold.

http://fofoa.blogspot.com/
I would read the article that is up there right now, and then go back to his work starting in late 2009. FOFOA is long and difficult reading, but he is the best gold observer out there, IMO.
There are many "paper" claims on each ounce of gold. The day will come when people will want their physical that they "think" they own, but it will not be there.
Ratio.
Keep your eye on the ratio.
JPM; Physical to Notional = 65:1
Put another way? 65 paper gold ounce chits, for each ounce of physical.
very informative: http://azizonomics.com/2012/08/09/a-step-toward-gold-confiscation/
"You can’t print gold — but you can buy it, and take it out of the marketplace."
That's not what the article is saying...check out the link provided in the thread start. Here's the punchline:
"Critical to note, GRU economic analysts say in this report, is that if the price of gold and silver were to achieve their “honest” level, JPMorgan would collapse as it does not have the reserves needed to equal the “paper” gold it has already sold, and a JPMorgan collapse would then, in turn, implode the entire global economic system."
Kid dynamite is a cubicle working banker, probably for JPM. The gay-wad has infected almost all the blogs with his insane comedy, now trying to start a "crash JPM, sell your gold" campaign in an attempt to get as much of your physical as they can.
You are either him, working with him, complicit in the fraud, or a total idiot posting shit like this. Stop posting links to one of the most intentionally misleading bloggers on the net, Kid Dynamite.
JPM may have $65m worth of a position, but the majority of their position is likely short gold, and a vast majority. So "Crash JPM, sell gold"would likely not work.
what total garbage kid dynamite is spewing. 'sell gold to crash jp morgan' he recons?
selling gold strengthens jp morgan
Nope. No affiliation.
I read that quote from the link as a 'buy gold, crash JPM' point. WTF am I missing?
I'm already skeptical of the link's info, but would like to hear the board's view...so thanks for stepping up.
Whoah, big time apology here...you are correct that the link ties to selling, though I interpreted the text as opposite the intention. Never pushed through that link.
nope
Kid D is being sarcastic. I read his piece and it was mocking the 'Break JPM' effort of 2011. I think he is a good writer.
No, he's a douchebag and Wall St bankster ball licker who was ridden off of ZH a few years ago.
I've got my fingers crossed that JPM crashes and takes Jamie with it.
If you think that you haven't seen "Wolf of Wall Street" yet. Jamie has HIS own money in hard assets not paper garbage.
Collapse?? JPM routinely pays $20B fines to the Obama Regime. They can certainly afford to lose $65B if the entire gold market went against them. It would take a loss of trillions to take down something as big as JPM. Only massive loan losses or a massive move against them in interest rate derivatives could do that.
how about both, 2014 to 2016?

Is there anyone beside you? If there is, tell them to slap you once, very hard, across the face, for the Gipper (in this case, America as she lies dying).
GIPPER:
"Origin
This originated in American football. Knute Rockne was the coach of the US Notre Dame team in the 1920s and George Gipp was his star player. The story goes that Gipp fell ill and when dying he asked Rockne to promise that, when things were going badly for the team, he should inspire them by asking them to 'win one for The Gipper'.
Ronald Reagan played the part of Gipp in the 1940 film Knute Rockne: All American. The screenplay has the line:
And the last thing he said to me, "Rock," he said, "sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper.
Reagan was given the nickname Gipper, which lasted throughout his life. Reagan later used the quotation when seeking election as US president."
He's a lot richer than me; but he's a lot dumber too.

With IT being included in the suicide party, as a measure of relationships to a conspiracy, at least pick people who are actually likely aware of the problems..
Taken at face value, seems to me this might be a more important data set (if true) from the link:
"A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared the by the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the Ministry of Defense is warning that the assassinations this past week of three top Western bankers coincide with Snowden Documents detailing a 15 February 2014 “catastrophe” being engineered by the Obama regime in order to establish some type of “new world economic order” prior to the coming global meltdown of markets and massive bank failures, some of which have already begun.
Edward Snowden is a computer specialist and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent who with his yet unidentified US military backers obtained nearly two million highly classified top-secret documents from the United States Department of Defense (DOD) run National Security Agency-Central Security Service (NSA/CSS) and was granted temporary asylum in Russia in 2013 after his designation by the Obama regime as the “most wanted man on earth.”"

"Here at JP Morgan, our fortress balance sheet is as good as gold. "
New JPM commercial slogan featuring Jamie Dimon and his presidential cuff links.
"Here at JP Morgan, our fortress balance sheet is as good as paper gold."
FIxed it for you.
...but the walls are paper thin
Does this massive position explain why gold seems to be range bound?
Gold is range bound for now.
If it goes up it will be part of a commoditiy bull market which will be inflationary...and kill the dollar.
If it goes down it will deplete all the remaining physical as third wolrd folks will buy it 'on sale'. This will kill the dollar as an end to the gold derivative market will start a derivative crash.
It will probably remain range bound until it is revalued by the BIS or until GLD closes when all of its remaining inventory is scarfed up and the gold derivative market crashes which will start a derivative crash.
So for now it lingers. When it is done lingering things will get interesting....buy now....anyone else hearing stories of small volume gold getting hard to source? I have not made any purchases in a while. Can one still buy say 50 ounces in a timely manner? Anyone know any wealthy people who have tried to buy in larger quantities?I know of a guy who bought $75m worth of physical a few years ago. He has it held at a bank. The bank called him recently and asked if he wanted to loan it out to a third party. He said no. The bank called again a few weeks later with the same question. He replied, "No".
Word is that the third party was the Treasury.
And when he calls to collect that gold, they will say, "No!"
It might be time for your friend to go visit his hoard, just to make sure it hasn't been wisked away in the dead of night...
The bars probably have multiple claims on them, as all bullion housed in banks do. They always have, by the way.
The first banks learned quickley that they could fractionaly reserve assets (and this back when gold was considered money by the status quo). Now we do it in the open, in the name of economic science.
About 1,500 chocolate-sized bars. One person can move it out of the bank vault in a year or less. That's what I would call "delivery".
who is the idiot wanker troll dickhead that thought it any way reasonably appropriate to junk you for that
Serial Junker(s). Been happening a lot lately... 2-3 junks on every comment all at about the same time.
Word on the street is that it's the Bernank and Yellen... Timmah joins in when the Turkish bath house is closed.
Getting very hard to find in much more than 15oz lots in gold coin.
Good delivery 1 oz swiss ingot seems to be still available in quantity,
but I prefer coin,less chance of tungsten inserts.
Don't leave it too long otherwise you will be SOL.
Good luck.
was going to list a price
for 50 oz eagles or maples
but decided not to...
probably buy on monday instead
It explains a lot of things.
Is there a bot down clicking every comment? Everyone in here has a -2.
It's just Bernanke trying to find a new hobby now that he's retired...
actually...you won't be able to deposit cash unless you are named on the account, even then you need to show ID. personàl and business, i mentioned capitol controls and was met by the salesmàn manager asking how MY day was; answer: great! can i show my id to close my account! 74trill in exposure and they're worried about my "laundering". old world theif morgan lost a sucker today!

I see someone 'has it in' for Max Keiser links.
Fuck YOU, Buckley!
CRASH J.P. MORGAN; BUY SILVER (and GOLD)!
Keiser. Ha.
We could use a dose of Max Keiser and Nigel Farage in the US. Much like trying to cure constipation by taking colon blow. It's not going to be pretty, but the needs to be done.
X O X is a loser anyway you cut it.
publicly at least they're net long (now.)
still the idea of trying to corner the gold market is ridiculous right now because not only do you have the dollar as a reserve currency (wasn't true when JP allegedly tried to corner the gold market back in the late 1800's) but you also didn't have the IMF, the World Bank, SDR's, a National Grid, etc...etc.
Trying to corner ANYTHING in this market is a widow maker trade.
The Hunt Brothers were the last I know of to actually try...and they did hold that corner for a pretty good bit...but there's just too much "hidden" from us because of the size of the Federal Government and the resources available to them "against you." (let alone other Governments in the world.)
The collapse in energy prices in the 1980's was truly spectacular I might add.
In practical terms "given the sudden appearance of dollar shortages Citigroup is a competitive threat to anyone trying to put a corner in."
HSBC as well I might add.
Love the sentiment of course.
"Lending with zero risk and nothing but reward" is a wonderful concept.
Not even JP Morgan could pull that one off though.

interesting that this bust started in Argentina.
Thumbs up to you. Cant understand why anyone would do this. Unless you were being paid to. By someone that has to return somebody else's gold maybe?
What better way to suppress the price of a commodity than to corner the market and hold the price down regardless of market sentiment. It makes perfect sense if you want to keep the USD as the reserve currency and prevent a flight to gold as a safe haven. If gold were allowed to find it's true value in the market, the USD would be worthless.

What, exactly, makes you think all these institutions aren't colluding on behalf the OWNER CLASS that controls all of the above?
How can they corner the gold market when I had more net allocated gold (before the boating accident) than they do? They may have cornered the paper gold market, but that's it.
That's where the tread marks are laid down... what is their net position and by how much?
JP Morgan is not short.

Doesn't JPM own 60% of all derivatives of everything?
indeed, pretty close to it.
I wonder if anyone knows: if their gold derivatives implode, does that daisy-chain throughout their other derivatives and shadow banking network?
@buzzsaw99: "counterparty is not a problem for tbtf"
Yeah, and "notional" is not a problem for them either. Enter notions like... Fiat currency, fiat debt, FRB.

It shows you what COMPLETE bunch of BULLSHIT the Financial Industry is. It also shows that when this all blows up.
Jamine "Because I M rich" Dimon ought to get a bullet in his head for being leveraged 65X in paper over the real asset.
What a fucking douche bag!
been on holidays for a cupla weeks? Comex inventory was last sighted at 112X
he deserves something much less pleasant than a bullet.
Wrong/ Counterparty is the "endless loop" of fractional inflation{aka} banking.
I wonder what happens when there are so many counterparties that it gets back to square one.....
Maybe something along the lines of http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-01/italy-enacts-most-bizarre-bank-...
Creative buggers, until it implodes (soon, please!)
This explains why the Chase has indicated that it is exiting the PM business. They are figuring that they will have the freedom to derivativise after they have exited....
Does this mean the bottom is in? and their game will soon close out, Jaimie scummm?
When Jamie is not cornering the paper gold market he is sucking Obama's cock.
