GREED KILLS.

If it's cataclysmic for the rich, maybe it is caused because there is no more money coming in to feed the top of the pyramid?

unlike the others, that are "suicides."

is right.

Given the numbers and the connections, I would not put this in the voluntary category yet.

interesting.

Are these mega-bankers so utterly under the spell of wealth that they can't stand a financial setback? I like to have a little money too, but ending one's own life because of it is just insane.

yep, something ugly coming down the pike. And, I know, only the poor end up suffering.

about currency traders in London, New York and Hong Kong competing against each other to see who would come out on top in their trading:

I was just thinking that this sounds like a curse or a pact gone wrong. Hey, it could happen.

A video I saw on TyT that stated the banks/markets had over 790 trillions in trades and they didn't even know where everything was at. All they know is that it will burst, just don't know when....

How many is that so far?

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

He calls it "mysterious" when the sun sets at night

if nobody saw anything. No doubt just another 'suicide'.

that it wasn't suspicious.

Dinar..........

A big wind is coming to knock it down.

To much paper chasing paper without anything behind it.

Doesn't look good.

A widening probe of the foreign-exchange market is roiling an industry already under pressure to reduce costs as computer platforms displace human traders.

Electronic dealing, which accounted for 66 percent of all currency transactions in 2013 and 20 percent in 2001, will increase to 76 percent within five years, according to Aite Group LLC, a Boston-based consulting firm that reviewed Bank for International Settlements data. About 81 percent of spot trading -- the buying and selling of currency for immediate delivery -- will be electronic by 2018, Aite said.

“Foreign-exchange traders are much like stock floor traders: a rapidly dying breed,” said Charles Geisst, author of “Wall Street: A History” and a finance professor at Manhattan College in Riverdale, New York. “Once the banks realize they are costing them money, the positions will dwindle quickly.”

At least a dozen regulators are investigating allegations first reported by Bloomberg News in June that traders colluded to rig benchmarks in the $5.3 trillion-a-day currency market. That scrutiny may give banks an opportunity to cull more staff, say analysts including Christopher Wheeler of Mediobanca SpA in London. It’s also boosting demand from clients for greater transparency in pricing and transaction charges, accelerating a longer-term shift in trading onto electronic platforms.
