<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1570931, member: 26302&quot;]Ok, if you think that. I thought investment banks business model was to help find capital for businesses, they may have a treasury of stocks for others to borrow, and the like. You know, facilitate investing. The basis of this type of bank is they wish to balance every trade, that is find a buyer for every seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, at times they have had to bear the risk on a position, but that has not been their PURPOSE. There has been &quot;house investing&quot; of funds to juice yields, and many of those firms have disappeared as a result of such activities. I still believe, however, the definition of investment banking is a bank that facilitates investment activity for a fee. </p><p><br /></p><p>Like Cloud says, we simply do not KNOW if the banks shorting PM do so because they have clients making that trade. Not knowing is not the same as claiming &quot;proof&quot; of market manipulation IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
