<but this is my general thesis>

Your thesis is actually a statement of "guilt by association".
You lump all the conspiracy theories together as if they were connected. Now you debunk an example - say manipulation of the price of gold. Presto - problem solved. See it was all in your mind. Your argumentation is actually a simple variant of the ad hominem fallacy. Just because gold may or may not be manipulated says nothing about whether the CIA let Osama bin Laden escape at Tora Bora. I suggest dropping the subject or the thread will fill with endless banter.

PS - Yes, the PPT exists and yes it buys securities via intermediaries in the open market. Do you really believe there is another reason that the DOW is up the last 6 months, perhaps because the constituent stocks were undervalued on a P/E basis ? If you do, you too believe in conspiracies (they go both ways).
