Yes, this stuff is a year old. This business has lasted for a while. I assume 2003, when that Fed article was written, it was implemented. I agree, most likely it is done legally through extending easy credit to investment banks. I noticed that this easy credit bullandbearwise.com correlates with the stock market extremely well. Since I know the person who wrote it, I also know that both of them got in some kind of trouble with "them" for doing so, so the forum discussion of it had to be stopped. John is a very nice patriotic dude. I suspect that the manipulation could break down at some point soon. The reason for this thought is the LT trend breakdown I posted Yesterday. All markets get manipulated at times, but history tells us this can't be done forever! However, when the breakdown finally occurs, I think it will be of horrific proportions, just like the manipulation was. If manipulation is done through futures, it carries huge risk attached for that entity. Also, I tend to believe the breakdown will start in interest rates derivatives, a 500 Trillion notional value market, which the Fed will be unable to monetarize.

An intervention from a single source is what is evident to me by looking at the tape. The pro identified the source as coming from handle 990N cleared through gelber, and I tend to believe it, since that's what I also see on my computer screen -g- WHO is doing it? I have no clue, this is obviously not public information. So, your guess is just as good as mine. But trading options with this informations turned my losses into profits. Just keep your positions very limited, since you don't want to be the buyer when the music stops. I don't think put positions will pay either, since the breakdown will be of systemic proportions.
