CNBC has the market close at, you guessed it, $500.00 exactly. Nice landing guys.

The more I listen to you and the other traders the more I believe the market is manipulated.

500 almost exactly ----

> No clue how they do it, but they sure do it.

Well at least with that statement my ignorant vague skepticism seems justified. If YOU don't understand it there is little chance I'm going to understand it. Obviously with the Quants, TA people and all the other people who suck money out of the pocket of little guys... there IS money to be made understanding it.


Like Vegas these buildings did not get built by losers... or should I say they DID get built by losers... just not OWNED by losers.

Wednesday (Thurs) is a big deal eh? That will be the one day the Quants and TA people have a hard time manipulating anything.

A wild thought just occurred to me... with computers a company like Apple should be able to report EVERY DAY, not just once every three months. Never happen.

They don't do it. It's the nature of options that most activity happens at strikes near ATM.

Pinning the price too close to the strike actually increases risk to options sellers/writers...it's not what they want, and they certainly don't push for it.
