Yes, Max, you were absolutely right. However, I do think they wanted BAD to turn the markets on Tuesday with VIX in the 30-s. The reason it did not work was SEC and its "new" old naked short selling rule, now supposedly "enforced", that included the Market Makers (probably the only ones who short naked anyhow) . Instead of causing the short covering stampede right away, that broke the derivative hedging mechanism for puts on OPEX week and spiked implied volatility much higher on Wednesday, putting us on the boundary of the crash. <G> Then today came this <GGG> Message 24964415 Now that fast hedging of options daisy chain is broken, I still wonder what it's gonna do. That ain't that risk free anymore. <g>

Max as far as I know this hasn't ever been done.... Yes they want the market to go up but for all the wrong reasons. GWB doesn't want a recession on his legacy. Much of it has to do with his father. He blames his terrible life on 41. Remember his father even said Jeb should've been Pres. not chimp.... I think once the details come out, as this is only shit being thrown out to see what sticks, the Market will reject it. IB's will not survive this. Private equity will be the new IB'S. I can't see Asians buying treasuries anymore, as again the problem is only moved off the books. Still the "Bush Doctrine" at work, NO ACCOUNTABILITY.......IMHO Hope this helps...
