It is widely speculated that JPM essentially stole the 1.4MM ozt of physical silver that was due to MF Global clients. I wouldn't be surprised to discover JPM managed to abscond with whatever physical silver was due to PFBest's clients too.

Seems like a bit of smoke hanging in the air.

Off topic:
It is creepy the number of times I read an article elsewhere, flip back to this website and see PMbug just posted a thread about the same article. :flail:

Back on topic:
While some seem to think this will sink JPMorgan and cause prices to jump in the fall, I would not be suprised if JPM gets out of this with a fine.
 
...I wouldn't be to surprised, if we witness another attack(s) on silver instead, why the hell not - if "your shorts are not in order", well, you double down on them - sounds familiar in JPM's case, no?

EDIT: time to play volatility in silver using that "saddle" technique in options, that Swissaustrian have described?? It seems that either they win, and silver goes significantly down, or they loose, and silver goes significantly up.

Options price increases as the underlying asset's volitility increases, but it would be interesting to look into. I know people that bet against silver on fridays due to their belief that silver tends to drop most Fridays.
