DB:

A very simple question (from a very simple guy):

You wrote, "the institutions aren't buying here. I can't conceive the retail investor pushing these record volumes of late. Could it be that the PPT is up to their old tricks?"

I need to rethink how PPT is supposed to work. I assume someone pumps liquidity into the system along with some jaw-ing of bigger institutions into taking certain actions. These methods were used to effect in the Y2K situation and to avert problems with LTCM.

I don't know exactly how this works, but assume some of the wiser lights around here do. But my follow up question (see? I coulda been with the Washington Press Corps!) is: if the retail investor isn't pushing up volume, and the institutions aren't, either, then that pretty much leaves no one?

Just wondering.
