I like Biederman, but this article could easily be titled, "I've been wrong all year and I don't know why, so I'll look for someone else to blame." Yeah it looks like someone has come in for the most part in the last 9-10 months, juiced the futures, and painted the tape at the close. But if that's the trend you have to go with it. This was the first year I've underperformed the SPOOs since 2001, and it's my fault for holding too much cash, selling most of the stuff I bought in March too early and holding on to a few shorts too long. Those were my mistakes, not the market's.

There is ample evidence showing interconnections between the Fed, Treasury Department, and Wall Street. From Ben's mouth to Lloyd's hands, it's the M.O. that many of us on this message thread have seen for months. It doesn't take much imagination to figure out how the money could flow. Even it the largest WS traders knew the Fed promised to back them up, it would give them the confidence to keep buying at every dip. It's the ultimate "Bernanke Put" - he apparently learned well from Greenspan. If true, it explains why the Fed is working so hard to protect their balance sheet from public view.
