I agree with what your saying, and your sentiment. I believe the US markets are much closer to what Japan had in the 80s (and today I presume) -- a rigged game. I can't shake this image that there's so much inflatability from so many sources now that it's like a tire tube with 100 valves and the Feds, dozens of hedge funds, and other high powered players all have a pump, and can pretty much pump at will. The game will be one to shake j6p from his money and also blow up other hedge funds/big traders. It's detachment from reality (the economy) increases daily. I think when it gives, it will be a true rupture (you get to keep your clothes but nothing else) and then everything will be exposed, protections [re]-put in place, etc. But until then, it's just a video game at JPM and many other pig men video arcades.

All the more reason for the US gov't to force citizens into the game (the Social Security Benefit Reduction Plan and Wall Street Fee Enhancement Program) else we wise up and want O-U-T permanently.
