What aboui the $800 TRILLION dollars caught up in over the counter derivitives?

Seems a day of rekoning must come since most of the large financial institutions are heavy into these mysterious transactions most of which are unreported and not on balance sheets. The big guys such as BofA. Citibank, JPMorgan and most others will have to come clean soon. No?

The notional amount is well over 1 quadrillion actually. Look at JPM they are the largest holder and starting to unravel. What currency can possibly hold up once the stuff really begins to hit the fan, and it hasn't yet. Look to money....real money.
Good Luck
