I have to disagree strongly with those conspiracy theories. . .

So then you believe that the stock market trades freely. . . and moves simply on supply and demand? You think that the market goes up because demand outweighs supply and it goes down when supply outweighs demand. And that analysts upgrades to 800 and downgrades to 40 within the same year on the same stock is due to the analyst simply changing their mind?

Sorry, but there is no question as to the markets being manipulated on a regular basis. It isn't a theory. Just read the stories on sec.gov sometime and see just how often and in how many ways it is manipulated. And the SEC doesn't even TRY to catch everyone. It isn't part of their mandate. They were established in the 30's to bring regulations to the market for the purpose of bringing back a sense of investor confidence, because investors began to feel that stock certificates had lost all value. And that is not a theory either.

And you can bet that when Wall Street realizes how much money they are losing by not flooding the market with IPOs, they will crank up the HYPE machine once again. What will NOT happen, IMO, is that gloom and doom will scare Wall Street Insiders into giving up and going home to plant flowers. If you remember nothing else I say, remember this this about the Wall Street Insiders. . . .

They don't believe their own hype!

So you think that stocks go down because more people want to sell their shares and they go up because more people want to buy them. And if you really believe that the markets trade freely, I've got a few acres of land about 30 miles east of Naples, FL I'd like to sell ya'. >g<

Best wishes,
