The most prominent firm, and one of the world's largest commodity brokers, is MF Global. MF Global jacked its margins on Friday to a little over $25k. MF Global happens to be run by ex-Goldman CEO Jon Corzine. Hmmm, anyone think there is any connection between Corzine and the big firms who control the Comex? How about between Corzine and the CFTC chairman who is also an ex-Goldmanite? Another very large futures broker, thinkorswim - which happens to be owned by Ameritrade - raised its margin on silver to over $30k. Anyone besides me understand that Ameritrade caters to small, individual speculators who were likely forced to sell to cover this margin hike? <br /><br />http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2011/05/pure-criminality.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
