Message: JP Morgan Buying Silver Mine in Australia

There commodity division still exists headed by Blythe Spirit. They lost $250 million on coal futures one quarter last year by shorting futures then buying back at a higher price, taking a long position at the top then watched the price go down. I still don't know how they keep avoiding reporting losses on the precious metal shorts unless they are long somewhere else in the bank or receiving some kind of compensation that they are netting against the future losses.
