<<You have to understand and trust in the free market. >> Can't speak for him, but I do understand and trust in free markets. But none exists. Definitely not in the United States. On the one hand they are trying to protect the bullish speculators on the equity markets by pumping easy credit. At the same time, they want to protect the speculators who sold gold short. In the former case the excuse is that a deflated bubble will pose a systemic threat. In the latter case, it is a combination of systemic threat and a threat on the very credibility of the central bankers.

BTW...How can you say that supply/demand is not a major consideration in the markets? Especially with the internet stocks it was the low floats that caused the huge rise in the price of the stocks. It would be my thesis that the public has been conditioned to believe that these internet stocks have a certain value. Most of them have no real value; it just takes time for the conditioning to wear off.
