Dear CFTC Staff,
Hello, I am a current JPMorgan Chase employee. This is an open letter to all commissioners and regulators. I am emailing you today b/c I know of insider information that will be damning at best for JPMorgan Chase. I have decided to play the role of whistleblower b/c I no longer have faith and belief that what we are doing for society is bringing value to people. I am now under the opinion that we are actually putting hard working Americans unaware of what lays ahead at extreme market risk. This risk is unnecessary and will lead to wide-scale market collapse if not handled properly. With the release of Mr. Smith’s open letter to Goldman, I too would like to set the record straight for JPM as well. I have seen the disruptive behavior of superiors and no longer can say that I look up to employees at the ED/MD level here at JPM. Their smug exuberance and arrogance permeates the air just as pungently as rotting vegetables. They all know too well of the backdoor crony connections they share intimately with elected officials and with other institutions. It is apparent in everything they do, from the meager attempts to manipulate LIBOR, therefore controlling how almost all derivatives are priced to the inherit and fraudulent commodities manipulation. They too may have one day stood for something in the past in the client-employee relationship. Does anyone in today’s market really care about the protection of their client? From the ruthless and scandalous treatment of MF Global client asset funds to the excessive bonuses paid by companies with burgeoning liabilities. Yes, we at JPMorgan that are in the know are fearful of a cascading credit event being triggered in Greece as they have hidden derivatives in excess of $1 Trillion USD. We at JPMorgan own enough of these through counterparty risk and outright prop trading that our entire IB EDG space could be annihilated within a few short days. The last ten years has been market by inflexion point after inflexion point with the most notable coming in 2008 after the acquisition of Bear.
I wish to remain anonymous as of now as fear of termination mounts from what I am about to reveal. Robert Gottlieb is not my real name; however he is a trader that is involved in a lawsuit for manipulative trading while working with JPMorgan Chase. He was acquired during our Bear Stearns acquisition and is known to be the notorious person shorting in the silver future market from his trading space, along with Blythe Masters, his IB Global boss. However, with that said, we are manipulating the silver futures market and playing a smaller (but still massively manipulative) role in manipulating the gold futures market. We have a little over a 25% (give or take a percentage) position in the short market for silver futures and by your definition this denotes a larger position than for speculative purposes or for hedging and is beyond the line of manipulation....
Via: Wired:
More and more personal and household devices are connecting to the internet, from your television to your car navigation systems to your light switches. CIA Director David Petraeus cannot wait to spy on you through them.
Earlier this month, Petraeus mused about the emergence of an “Internet of Things” — that is, wired devices — at a summit for In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital firm. “‘Transformational’ is an overused word, but I do believe it properly applies to these technologies,” Petraeus enthused, “particularly to their effect on clandestine tradecraft.”
All those new online devices are a treasure trove of data if you’re a “person of interest” to the spy community. Once upon a time, spies had to place a bug in your chandelier to hear your conversation. With the rise of the “smart home,” you’d be sending tagged, geolocated data that a spy agency can intercept in real time when you use the lighting app on your phone to adjust your living room’s ambiance.
“Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters — all connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing,” Petraeus said, “the latter now going to cloud computing, in many areas greater and greater supercomputing, and, ultimately, heading to quantum computing.”
Petraeus allowed that these household spy devices “change our notions of secrecy” and prompt a rethink of “our notions of identity and secrecy.” All of which is true — if convenient for a CIA director.

Goldman Roiled by Op-Ed Loses $2.2 Billion ... Smith Resignation Costs Goldman Shareholders $2.2B ... Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) saw $2.15 billion of its market value wiped out after an employee assailed Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein's management and the firm's treatment of clients, sparking debate across Wall Street. The shares dropped 3.4 percent in New York trading yesterday, the third-biggest decline in the 81-company Standard & Poor's 500 Financials Index, after London-based Greg Smith made the accusations in a New York Times op-ed piece. Smith, who also wrote that he was quitting after 12 years at the company, blamed Blankfein, 57, and President Gary D. Cohn, 51, for a "decline in the firm's moral fiber." They responded in a memo to current and former employees, saying that Smith's assertions don't reflect the firm's values, culture or "how the vast majority of people at Goldman Sachs think about the firm and the work it does on behalf of our clients." – New York Times
Dominant Social Theme: Dig up Pecora and let him run a commission.
Free-Market Analysis: Hoo boy. Here's what we really need: New "Pecora Hearings." is this why Goldman is being pilloried once again?
Is it a deliberate hit job of sorts? Certainly it is compelling. People hate the system so much that even the alternative news media goes along when it comes to Goldman Sachs.
It never seems to occur to anyone, even the brightest of the alternative media minds, that this is the way the power elite works. Do they ever set up a dialectic they don't control? "They" OWN Goldman Sachs it seems to us. Goldman works for "them" ... and "they" are offering up this firm like a sacrificial lamb.
But the stakes could not be higher. The end of the US system of capital-raising is being oiled and greased in Washington thanks to the constant drumbeat of anti-Wall Street news.
The guillotine is being sharpened. The screws are being tightened. It is almost time for the show to begin.
And what a show it will be: Political theatre designed to reduce what is left of Wall Street entirely to an adjunct of Washington, DC.
In the process it will accomplish what Alexander Hamilton long dreamed of doing 250 years ago: Reconfigure the Republic and turn it into a version of European nation-states...."

Wheat pennies... SWEET!
You just made 250% on your money... (no taxes)
http://www.coinflation.com/
Better, even, than my fantasy sports rake...
~~~~
Even better than "nickles bitchez"... Only difference is, with nickles, it's still pure profit... You don't have to sift thru the wreckage to find the value...
To put it into perspective... I think I said "nickles bitchez" (for the first time on this blog) about 2 years ago...
So... On a timid, let's say $20 a week exchange program (fiat for nickles exchange at the local bank)... One could have accumulated:
52 weeks X 2 years X 10 rolls of nickles = $40
That's 41,600 nickles...
OK... Now let's say the dollar gets devalued (which is ABSURD because we know it NEVER will)... But just for FUN...
I've said many times that throughout history, coinage (especially in more valuable metals), tended to retain its fractional value in the new currency... Remember... US coins are issued by the US Government NOT the Federal Reserve...
So let's say the dollar REVALUE is something like 10-1... (apply ANY math to this)...
It means that your nickles have a value of 50 cents on the dollar in the new currency...
41,600 X .5 = 20,800 (for a $2,080 investment, which wasn't even an investment at all because it was a ZERO RISK... It will always be worth $2,080 if none of the above happens)...

cv, thought about it and if I can make a few bucks from the ads, I'll just buy silver. It cost me nothing except for my time and it'll be 100% profit. Oh shit, forgot Goofle will prolly send me a W2 so less taxes, it'll be all profit.
Went to Walmart to buy some drinks, noticed the Sobe 0-calorie drinks I buy went from $1 even to $1.25... Gatorade G2 is also up 2-bits. Started looking around and noticed alot of stuff priced around $1 is up about 25c....hmmm
But none of that really matters... does it?
saving dimes... saving nickles... all that crazy stuff...
~~~
For example (1964):
- a gallon of gasoline cost 30 cents (3 dimes)...
TODAY those '64 dimes could buy you $2.36 x 3 = $7.08 (which is roughly 2 gallons of gasoline)... While your 1/10th of a dollar FIAT dime buys you less than 1/10th of a gallon of gas...
http://www.1960sflashback.com/1964/economy.asp
~~~~
- Let's say... In 1964... You'd decided to take $20,500 to the bank & buy rolls of dimes... You'd have gotten 205,000 dimes for your effort...
Take those to a coin shop today & they're worth $2.35 per dime... 2.35 X 205,000 = $481,750... (not a bad house ~ especially since you avoided paying for about 3 roofing jobs, unlimited upgrades, property taxes, etc. all the while to maintain it)...
http://www.1960sflashback.com/1964/economy.asp
~~~
- DOW Jones?... Somewhere averaging 850 back that year... so 8500 dimes would have bought you PAR on the DOW... (.1 x 85 = 850)... Now it would buy you 20,060 DOW...
http://www.1960sflashback.com/1964/economy.asp
So what's lagging here?
My simpleton guess is that it's fiat...
~~~
The 'other side' of the proverbial coin is that the COIN itself is in a BUBBLE...
& I'm sure it's going to come crashing back down to earth very soon because one knows when you print trillions upon trillions upon trillions more of 'debt' denominated in a PAPER CURRENCY...
It gains value...

Roman inflation in numbers...
http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/Money_and_banking_in_Ancient_Rome
From at least the 4th century B.C.. the Roman government bought grain in times of shortage and resold it at a lower price. At 58 B.C. was the law changed: every citizen should receive free wheat. To the surprise of the government, most farmers left the country to live in Rome without working. To deal with the increasing economical problems, the emperors gradually began to devalue their currency

Julian Assange Australia Senate Run
The 'money shot' (from the link)...
"The silver currency was basically abandoned, so much that the government started to demand payment of taxes in kind and in services instead of coin. Constantine the Great issued the golden solidus in large numbers. The government moved away from collecting taxes and paying salaries in kind, and began to use gold. But taxes had to be paid in gold bullion, as the government refused its own coins, since was never sure how adulterated the coinage really was. The inflation of lesser coins continued, even cities were free to make their own token coins. Most people had to buy gold coins to pay taxes with, those who couldn't afford it lost their lands or became delinquents. So there was a relatively stable 'gold standard' used by the growing number of soldiers and civil servants, and an increasingly worthless currency for the rest of the citizenry.
A rapid decline of their fortunes and personal freedoms followed"

Lil’Asset: The Modern Slave Doll You Love to Hate
Posted by 99percentspace on March 16, 2012 · Leave a Comment
The first time you see Lil’Asset, all dumb and pudgy, you will feel the irresistable urge to squeeze it. Real hard.
Go ahead, it won’t complain. See?
Soon you will realize that this lump of putty was created for one purpose and one purpose alone: to be squeezed by you.
In fact, if it weren’t for your untiring grip, the lil’ tard would spend all day sitting around with its thumb up its sweet lil’ asset, as they say in French.
But don’t expect it to thank you; it’s too stupid to appreciate your effort in this regard. If you find its lack of gratitude frustrating, try burying it under 400 Lbs of printed legalese gibberish and debt currency. Its head might explode, but the body won’t complain…
What? It dared squeak? Time to whip out the orange jumpsuit accessory and get medieval on Lil’Asset! Lock it in the dark, play Justin Beiber at it, hold it upside down in the toilet, let the pooch chew on it… be creative! Strike the fear of dog in its heart and see the terror in its eyes as it stares at you in stricken silence…
Just how much can it take before bursting?
That’s between you and your sweet Lil’Asset to decide.

Could there be a better weekend?
St. Patrick's Day PLUS Final 32 Hoops going???
Had a fantastic St.Patty's day party that i'm still recovering from....
Nickels...yeah, i'm still long nickels too...
And yeah...the Jetpacks are coming....
So a couple three weeks ago some of you were talking about how running cheap vodka through a Brita water filter would make it better vodka, so I took some Monarch Vodka and ran half of it through and saved the other half and as I reported a couple weeks ago, there was a huge difference in taste and palatability.
But that got me to wondering does this make cheap vodka into good vodka, so the next step for this experience was to taste the “distilled” Monarch against some good vodka.
You guys need to keep in mind I am not a big drinker and vodka is not my first choice when I do and my wife if even less of a drinker and knows less about vodka than I do, the reason I am stating this is to let you know, this experiment was done without any preconceived biases or expecting a certain outcome.
So Friday night I go into the liquor store trying to remember the names of “good” vodka’s you guys had mentioned, so there I am studying the selections when I look over my shoulder and see a very nicely dressed, beautiful blonde woman standing behind me, I would say she was a trophy wife, but she was too intelligent, too educated and seemed to independent for that, she was most certainly not the type of woman that I would associate with on a daily basis, but in the name of science I nervously asked her, “Do you drink vodka” She looked start at me, gave me a slight smile and answered it a voice that indicated I asked her such a silly question and she answered “Why yes I do” . So I explained to her what I was doing and she explained to me the difference between top shelf vodka and bottom shelf - I had certainly heard these terms before, but when you have a beautiful woman actually showing you the difference it was like a light bulb coming on and I could actually see the difference.
She than told me she liked 3 Olives –So I hope 3 Olives is acceptable for you Vodka Snobs out there.
When I got home I ran a good portion of the 3 Olives through the Brita filter, poured a little of the filter and unfiltered 3 Olives into glasses and discovered there was a slight taste difference between them, so the next step was to have my wife try them, she too could taste a slight difference but she liked the unfiltered better while I liked the filtered a little better
My conclusion to filtering Top Shelf Vodka, it is a waste of time.
Now it was time for the real test, how would my twice filtered Monarch stand up against the 3 Olives?
It did NOT even come close.
My conclusion is, filtering Bottom Shelf Vodka, does improve it’s palatability, but does not even bring it close to the good stuff.
So Ben and all you other’s who profess to be Vodka Snobs – Please concider me one now too

I don't drink but did have a few beers last night - frik'n drunk after 4 beers! Maybe the "green" in one of the beers did it. Anyway, if ya ever make it to the Big Island, Kona Brewing Co is a great place to drink, eat really good pizza, appetizers.
cv, Not sure if I can make a chart everyday, run out new material. But like I said before, it was just an experiment. Some of these charts take alot of time and some days I just don't have it. Think the payout for 5 days is $9.88, not sure because it keeps changing... LOL
...now need to nurse a headache :/
Mutt, does the taste really matter after the 1st drink? :)
Melting nickels will get you a $10,000 fine, 5 years, or both. Hard to see the profit margin in that.
QQQQ - I can only speak for the vodka, but it is more than just the taste, it is the quality, because I was doing this for scientific purposes and I did not want to mix the filtered 3 Olive with the non- filtered, (CUZ That would have been all wrong) I had to finish the ALL of the filtered stuff and I really thought I would wake up with a headache, but as the beautiful blonde woman told me, Amazingly I did not have one.

and, as you found, it ~improves the Taste..
personally, it's a nice thing to do if you're making 'Well Drinks'/'Trash Can Punch' for a bunch of peep looking to get ~'Hammered'..
it's the "Activated Carbon" (in the Brita filter) that is 'working the ~Magic'..

More expensive alcohol generally contains fewer congeners because it undergoes a more rigorous distillation process that filters out a higher percentage of the congeners.
