That deserves a rec. Direct vs indirect manipulation by the Fed, and the market is manipulated indirectly, as opposed to some dude working for the Fed agent (say, JPM) clicking the "buy" button 3 times in 24 hrs. with Federal money. The latter would be direct manipulation, and that's how the PPT is envisioned most of the times. Even I can't shake that image out of my head. <g> Options expiration days are Fed-sponsored monthly pay days on WS. The lack of those will cause a systemic collapse, just like they can't live without the bonuses. -g-
