Cramer on market manipulation: ....Am I getting the hang of this market? Am I now figuring it out? Or was it silly for AOL to merge and silly for Yahoo! (YHOO:Nasdaq - news) not to merge? Can we take a timeout to ponder whether things just simply aren't working at all? Maybe all of the four-letter stuff and the highfliers were simply walked up big time by underperforming hedge funds and we are now stuck with some crummy prices that we are still working off? I look at the performance figures from big hedge funds in the fourth quarter and I am beginning to believe that much of the fourth quarter was simply desperation buying that ain't coming back any time soon. In other words, I want to stop beating myself up about what the heck is going on. If the whole Nasdaq was collectively marked up, either through ingenious use of the Nasdaq 100 Trust (QQQ:Amex - news) and the DOTs and odd-ball futures and derivatives, then who can possibly figure out what are the true, right levels?
