COMEX = CRIMEX..............from Rico
I had been an options trader before Andy McGuire "blew the whistle" to the CFTC about market manipulation by the Giant Squids [read: TBTF banks] but I walked away from that gig. My 'book' wasn't as deep as the Giant Squid's was....
Today was a textbook example of orchestrated, blatant, short-term market-rigging by Jamie Dimon and Blythe Masters et al...in fact, they took it to the playoffs today!
- They brought in 4 carloads of Mexican Los Zetas (that's about 120 pax) to 'take care' of things. Paid 'em cash - problem solved!! No more parabolic gold and silver spot prices .....for today, anyway!
It was merely a 'coincidence' that the COMEX (or as many call them, CRIMEX) May options 'expired' and went off the board today for gold and silver, and the dollar-based spot prices were whacked heavily by 'naked' short paper provided by the usual suspects.
A word of wisdom, here:
- Fiat currencies do NOT float, but something else does!

The High Art of Diplomatic Doubletalk............from Dan Friedman
From a JPost story on Jimmy Carter’s current visit to North Korea:
"The outlook for the diplomatic engagement is the best it has been in two years, but the prospects for a satisfactory outcome have never looked worse," said Douglas Paal of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.

Whoever or Whatever Obama Is, The Left Will Back Him.........by Dan Friedman
By rights, Obama’s escalating escapade in Libya should be offensive to his minions on the Left. Shades of Imperialism and Vietnam, what! But expecting ideological purity from that crowd would be asking too much. They know full well a comrade like Obama doesn’t make it to the Oval Office every day. Their man is unique and it’s much smarter to protect the Crown Jewels even if they have a flaw. Here, via Breitbart, is a confession from a liberal that proves the Left knows exactly what they’re doing – they’re forgiving Obama’s sins and giving him a free pass.
This political anomaly should be an alert to anyone counting on “the base” to abandon Obama next year. They are making a serious miscalculation. The stakes are too high to stay home and there is simply no place else for liberals and the Left to go. It just doesn’t get better than BHO. Trotsky won’t be on the ballot.
