I disagree. Folks who actively watch the markets like us are the minority. The majority of people (aka sheep) make financial decisions based on what they see and hear as they go about their daily lives. Most of them are sitting on the sidelines now. If they hear the market had a great month they will probably not want to "miss the boat" and have their "financial manager" reinvest their funds. I believe THAT is what the Wall Street folks are trying to achieve. Then Wall Street slowly distributes to the rubes at much higher prices. The sheep are fleeced once again and the market resumes it's decline.

A few days ago Mark Haines was commenting on gold - " the world is awash in gold " and "central banks have to limit sales of gold to keep the price from cratering " He is either a pawn or financially illiterate.
