This is something I've become very interested in of late - the PPT. When you type in Plunge Protection Team into a search engine you get several references to articles that are no longer available. One I did find this morning was a Washington Post article dated February 23, 1997: washingtonpost.com Someone on one of these boards the other day and forgive me I don't recall who it was, posted a link to the Prudent Bear site with an article by Marshall Auerback in the International Perspective column. It was entitled, "Has The US Stock Market Become A National Security Issue?" I printed that out on July 25th, the day it appeared and had cause to go back to post the URL to a friend last evening. Guess what? It was gone. Check it out: prudentbear.com There are articles in this column every week for months on end except July 25th. Very interesting if you ask me. Now whether the PPT is govt backed or a coordinated effort on the part of large institutions . . . no clue, but that buy program that kicked in on Thursday was something other than small investors happy to see their favorites drop below major support levels and rush in to scoop them up. Are small investors that smart? I don't think so. I'm thinking I want those puts back that I got scared out of. Ramona
