On the third Wednesday of every month, the nine members of an elite Wall Street society gather in Midtown Manhattan. The men share a common goal: to protect the interests of big banks in the vast market for derivatives, one of the most profitable -- and controversial -- fields in finance. They also share a common secret: The details of their meetings, even their identities, have been strictly confidential.

I dunno if you get the dead tree edition, but it shows the Times' news editors are very proud of this piece; today it is the page A1 headline, and a two-column, large-point one at that..and lots of people buy the Times' Sunday paper on serendipity on news stands and at book stores, where they would see the headline. The sub-headline is Clubby Clearinghouses Limit Compeition and Consumers Face Higher Prices.

This shouldn't be in the little In the News Section, Genghis. It's a long piece, but it's pretty important inormation, and I'd expect those with time following fin-reg would love to comment. Mayabe you should stick it in the middle column?
And I still wish you'd move this section somewhere south, or at least ask others. With all due respect to ArtAppraiser, of course. ;o)

I guess it is good news is that the NY Times has decided to take on some NY banks. Sad though that it has taken more than two years for them to discover this 'inner circle' and still they neglect to report the group's more relevant connection.
For example, compare the firms in this graf:
to the Federal Reserve's Primary Dealer list:
List of the Primary Government Securities Dealers Reporting to the Government Securities Dealers Statistics Unit of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
BNP Paribas Securities Corp.
Barclays Capital Inc.
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC
Daiwa Capital Markets America Inc.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
Goldman, Sachs & Co.
HSBC Securities (USA) Inc.
Jefferies & Company, Inc.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (Banc of America merged into 11/011/10)
Mizuho Securities USA Inc.
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
Nomura Securities International, Inc.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC
RBS Securities Inc.
UBS Securities LLC.
Primary Dealers come and go but the FRB-NY has a list of changes since 1999 here. Former Primary Dealers include: Bear, Stearns; Lehman Bros; Countrywide.
Now if I can find the basic link sitting out here in East Podunk, why not the NYT? Too enamoured of Doge Dimon?
