you and i both know that the market is manipulated. the PPT, as proposed by most who post on SI, consists of AG and a few autonomous powerbrokers within the government, including george bush. these men are certainly not the "gilded illuminati" to which you refer. although, their inclusion within the fabled group is not without merit. the simple fact is that the market is a fairly, easy system to manipulate. people as powerful as AG and GDub need not get involved. a few, well placed dollars on futures are more than enough to move the market in one direction or another. this is nothing new and has been in existence since the beginning of trading. when someone decides to participate within the capital markets, they basically accept this reality. if not, they are destined for failure from the beginning. ranting about a conspiracy when someone takes a wad of spoos and doos in the midst of a bone, dry forest is ludicrous. that's called Rules of Engagement in my opinion, not the PPT. no need to test me my friend, my eyes are wide open. the more interesting question, if one dares to ask, is why does a bubble develop, and then slowly dissipate in a maudlin and agonizing parody? furthermore, how does one explain the SI concept of a PPT given the weekly, bloodletting that has occurred over the last three years? perhaps the transfer of money, assets and power resides in this process eh? regards, (~)^(~)
