Have The Federal Reserve Or Prime Brokers Ever Tried To Manipulate The Stock Market?

[Chris Scoreboard Johnston]

Since we disagree on virtually everything, no surprise a comment like this shows up from you. I did not state that as a reason I support this type of activity. I you read my blog( make no mistake I don’t want you to ) you would know that I dispise it. I would not constantly slam it if I thought it was what they should be doing.

I think by doing what they do they just postpone the inevitable, and make it worse when it does actually happen.

However, John Q Public itleast got a partial offset here in that their taxpayer money did give them some payback vs a total loss like most of what is happening, auto’s to name one.

This activity is no secret and yet another example of how the media selectively chooses what they report. They could expose this with a full force effort. There are people who work at GS who are tight lipped, but involved in these transactions. I am sure the media could get this out if they chose to. But there is also no doubt that the government would make someone’s live miserable with audits and god knows what else, if they were the lone soldier that pursued this.

wasn’t disagreeing with you, Chris

just seemed that you were making the investment gains out to be a positive – like they were a side-effect and didn’t cost anything

[quote=Chris Scoreboard Johnston]It will be interesting to see what happens if we hit a 20 day low in the indexes. Alot of funds sell at that level, and if enough volume comes in on the sell side, the PPT cannot stop it ala last year[/quote]
Chris,

You must be referring to hedge funds, etc?
The mutual fund flows for the year are about $10B stocks, $236B bonds during the massive stock rally this year. So Joe Public is probably not scared of stocks anymore since they have much higher bond % now. So maybe that’s why stocks rallied so much because Joe Public is always wrong at market tops/bottoms. When fund flows are all stocks, then it will be time to get scared.
