It's not like we didn't know this was going to happen. Of course it was going to happen, that is what the PPT was created for.

WE CAN'T HAVE JEWS PANIC THINKING THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET THAT NEXT YACHT OR CLOSE ON THEIR NEW MANSION IN THE HAMPTONS. FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN LABOR DAY WEEKEND IS COMING!!!!!!!!

Not like we need anyone to tell us that this market is rigged. But finally people may see it for what it is. One giant con.

The stock market needed to be ended for good. Either the Fed is dismantled by regulation, yeah right, or is is dismantled by blood.

My vote is stripping the skin from the bones of every member of the Federal Reserve.

Resourceful and innovative, determined and passionately driven is how I would describe the Americans I have worked with.  Canadians are the nicest damn people I've ever met.  Tourism and supplying the necessities for the masses could drive the world economy.  This design is flawed.  Once the upper middle class realize the joke is on them, they will be flying their personal aircraft into banker's homes on remote islands and yachts in the middle of paradise.

It's a small world now.

A "mysterious buyer", also know as "The Federal Reserve" buying all comers.

A bond market in bubble territory.

What will the sellers do with all that cash?

Central banks are big private banks (at least the Fed). This is for their self-interest. So it's both.

THIS is why the Fed will not allow a full audit.  A true forensic audit would show exactly what the Fed has done and is doing regarding the stock market - which is NOT part of its mandate.

That being said, I discussed this with my brother who is always inclined to be trusting of our gov't - the polar opposite of me.  He believes that regardless of the existence of any PPT - the citizenry has been protected, so what differrence does it make?  I stopped talking about it with him to avoid an argument.

 

Addendum:  I've had almost screaming arguments with him in the past over the Fed and TBTF banks.

There's at least one dual edged sword here. Every point the PPT pulls the markets back up gives another would-be seller the chance to exit with a smaller loss. I'm not sure what one point on the DOW/S&P is worth in dollar terms but it's magnified by any extra selling. By the end of the day, the fed could be the only stock holder and I'd love to know how much it cost them. Goldman Suchs balls is probably offering two free steak/pork knives with every buy order.

The tide appears to have turned--a no-confidence in the Fed's influence/ power going forward. Globally, capitulation selling appears to have taken hold. Severe dislocation presaging something much more dire. That's the takeaway message from some of the more lucid talking heads so far today anyway.
