I sorry but S B has been around to long. He has wasted resources by not tightening up on some of the programming. Skye so far is not producing. Arg 1 acts like the Q report is good. if you use the cost of funds method most shareholders are and will be underwater even if it hit 37 in 18 months.

The short answer is nothing however 90 years ago Germany started printing 10 times more than today and crashed its economy. they wanted at all costs to pay off the french and british after WW I. Today the central banks want you to invest either in securities or houses for the most part. onewhats the person above my original comment thinks commodities like gold have real value which in the last week has proven false. He also forgets their is a carry charge and lack of income attached to metals. if he had bought in 1980 he would need a price above 2700 just to break even. Gold has always been a trade and its never an investment. in the USA the tax on gold as a metal is 35% and no capital gains discounts. To tell the truth most people do not pay the tax but for those who are caught by the IRS the average fines and penalties range between 250 and 1500% after the fact because failure to pay is fraud and their is a five year statue of limitations from the last proven fraud. their have been cases where they have gone back over 30 years.
I got off point your best bets at the moment is MLPs in the oil and gas business until the fed starts to ease off the printing press. try4.5% or better for income

I agree that like we do with stocks on an exchange we have a daily closing price which every body does their calculations to. We would need to get the Fed to be the go to place for currencies not on the CME as an example. We also need the requirement that instruments must be cleared through an exchange.

I have worked with derivatives for 30 years and as a risk manager half of the traders hated me because I would not approve trading in many of the synthetics. There is a place for derivatives and in some case the public has no clue of what a derivative is. As a result you hear from some people in government and media who act like derivatives have been around only 30 years instead there have been forms of derivatives before our civil war.

I'm surprised that as you say an "industry standard" . Most of the trading was by international banks who home countries had multiple ideas as reasonable risk. As I worked for an Asian area and European banks and each had scenarios that would generate very different results. Are you saying that JPM's audit committee did not sign off on the change?
