Here is my conspiracy theory...lol I think you are correct and the Feds are testing the waters right now with a liquidity drain coupled with an outright attack on commodities. They timed it with the OBL news in the hopes that the news would dampen the impact of the drain on the stock market. Also, gold and silver margin requirements keep getting raised into the sell-off. We all know how they feel about gold and silver...they would love for this to turn into a complete route of the metals. Confirmation of the stealth drain will be in the form of significant a dollar bounce. Maybe the bounce starts today. However, I think they will quickly be forced to reverse course once they realize just how vulnerable the markets are without thier support. Its just a matter of how much pain they are willing to endure in the markets in order to lower the price of oil and gasoline.
