the ability through derivatives of holding

[suprunp]

Taking away from the usefulness of margin debt for market forecasting is the ability through derivatives of holding positions outside the Federal Reserve requirements for margin, which only apply to banks.

I think it should be "the ability through derivatives to hold". Am I right and is it a common mistake among native English speakers?

Thanks.

I'm sure that whoever it was it was done into the nindin.

My apologies for trying to get back to the subject -- but could anyone be so kind to suggest anything ('drop this book' would be fine as well).

Thanks.
