its all your fault!!!

BEIJING, Dec 4 (Reuters) - A senior Chinese government official has blamed some of the leading foreign banks for designing complex financial products that triggered losses by state-owned enterprises last year.

 

Writing in the official Study Times journal, Li Wei, deputy director of the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), said 68 Chinese firms suffered net losses of 11.4 billion yuan ($1.67 billion) on call and put options signed with foreign banks.

 

He blamed Goldman Sachs (GS.N), Citigroup (C.N), Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and other international banks for providing "extremely complicated" and difficult to understand derivatives products.

If someone tried to sell me something that was extremely complicated and difficult to understand I would politely tell them to insert it in their rectum.

 

 

 

 

I thought there was a separate thread for the AGW Global Warming discussion.

It's almost time...

Short below 50 dma.

 

 

Still short from Black Friday. A little under water, butt starting to get encouraged. All we need is a little help from the unemployment figures today. Or, maybe the trashury's $135b invoice can get the ball rolling. Someone please give the bears a hand.

So now you can't even take delivery on a Comex gold futures contract. Everything is settled in paper. I wonder where the Chinese will turn next?

FWIW, everything I read indicates there is a point in time that is quickly approaching when gold will be completely unavailable at any price. With demand being driven from the deep pockets of foreign countries right down to the paultry savings of mom and pop, the final moonshot has begun. Maybe if the doolar carry trade unwinds we'll see some selling, but it will only be temporary. Once the physical runs out, there will be no ceiling on the price. The signs of this happening are evident everywhere you look (esp. look at the price!).
