Currently, eight US banks do all the massive naked shorting on PM’s….they haven’t learned from Bear Sterns, no tears when they suffer the same fate.

So they bet big on gold and silver going down, and they went up. Is that the executive summary ?

The real reason Bear Stearns went under in 2008 has never been revealed in public.

They had giant mortgage bond positions financed with overnight loans.

It's never been a secret.

by mid-March the insolvent company agreed to be taken over by JPMorgan for $2 a share (later raised to $10 after class-action lawsuits).

The lawsuits were thrown out.

Banks should not be allowed to buy on margin.
