JP Morgan 2 Billion lost in just 6 weeks, once the uncooked books are opened.


The Volker rule would have done nothing to prevent this.

No we don't, I am agreeing with you but we will never withdraw...not the path this country is headed down.. The global plot is in full swing. The US dollar is the reserve currency of the world right now...but...for how long....?
