Ted Butler - 2013: The Year of JPMorgan (in gold, silver)

``It appears that JPMorgan hasn't let gold and silver rip to the upside because the bank is still acquiring important quantities of metal in physical form. It does appear that JPMorgan has hit the limit of COMEX gold futures ownership, as the bank's long market corner is pretty easy to track and, apparently, hard for anyone to deny. Likewise, JPM's short position in COMEX silver has been hard to reduce significantly for six months or longer.   But the documented data clearly indicate that JPMorgan has been acquiring important amounts of gold and silver thru COMEX deliveries and, most likely, in actual metal from GLD and SLV. Unlike futures contracts which are reported weekly in COT reports, there is no reporting requirement by JPMorgan for physical gold and silver held. ''
