This is a tiresome subject that one could debate for eternity, but I will state in more detail my humble take on this subject..... 1. Greed isn't a bad thing on the part of the big guys, if they succeed in protecting their turf and drawing in more investment dollars from little guys. Right now, the big guys are staring the end of the world-as-they-know-it in the face. If this market collapses, what intelligent American would put one more dollar into the stock market for the remainder of his/her life? The big guys depend on our dollars. The big guys will protect themselves, and protect the dollars of the little guys, so they can get more of these dollars in the future....this is a hypothesis, I realize, but I believe that is what is driving them. 2. "Propping up stocks" isn't so much the issue as the need to provide capital to good companies providing useful and needed goods and services to people in the U.S. and around the world. Surely you don't want this very essential function of American capitalism to end.
