Mish: So you are an "anti-conspiracy theory" fanatic. While conspiracy theorists often go way too far (such as 9/11) conspiracies do exist in the real world. Only the most naive would deny this. Was not the Iraq war basically a conspiracy with neo-cons planning this and pushing for it way before Bush was "elected" ? Do not global central bankers talk to each all the time about ways to stabilize markets when they are under stress? "Anti-conspiracy" stubborness is as wrongheaded as conspiracy fanaticism

The PPT acted when LTCM collapsed. Or was that before the official "PPT" was instituted? Were they involved in Amaranth? On a day to day basis Fed actions are driven by trying to maintain their desired interest rates. So market participants actions drive the Fed's money supply actions, not vice versa.
