Is part of the Manchurian President's stimulus plan manipulating the stock market?
computer program buying. But yeah, stocks can be and are manipulated.
Today, the S&P 500 futures actually closed lower, due to a fall in the final minutes. Maybe it was the delay of the Chrysler sale.
Oh..it never rallied when Pres Bush was in office../s
The stock market won’t recover so long as socialists continue to nationalize the economy.
Plunge protection team in action????
But they’ll never post a headline saying
“Stocks Rally on Supreme Slapdown of Obama Policies”
Prices get low during the day, so people buy up those cheaper stocks when they drop. You also have the shorts covering their orders for the next day.
Ha! You were posting while I was writing. Good call. I had the same thought.
One can dream...
Great minds...
When the door of reality opens......look out below!
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, however,
There is no (other) logical explanation for this lunacy!
Next up, Goldman Sach, whose name seems to be popping up everywhere.
George $oro$?
I have been hearing there is heavy manipulation in the gold market. I know the motive is there. If the Central Banks can keep inflation skepticism low then many investors come to the conclusion that the recent market rally is based on fundamentals. I am not sure if it is even possible to significantly manipulate something as big as a commodity market in the NYMEX.
We are starting to see the cracks of the inflationary monetary policy with the bond and oil markets. Oil is key because there is absolutely no way to explain its rise without inflation. Of course, we do hear some wackos who blame speculators, but I usually ignore them.
Dunno... how is it my ex-gf would always seem to get a headache just before bedtime?
Bloomberg is claiming it went up because Neo-Communist Paul Krugman said the recession would end by September.
It’s the Joooos!

Krugman is part of the gang enlisted with talking up the economy. In the end it will fail because the reality is other then what he and the rest of the media are claiming. Only today Obamahussein was quoted as saying the recession is very serious and will take a long time to recover from. Of course knowing him it could well be an attempt to greatly lower expectations and inoculate himself against a prolonged recession at the same time.
Bottom line is if anyone could forecast the end of an economic cycle, up or down he would be wealthy beyond belief and would not have to waste his time writing for a liberal rag like the Slimes.
For months Krugman has been saying Government is not spending enough money.
How this clown has any credibility is beyond me.
don’t short sellers have to make their margin calls by a certain time too?
As long as the market is down the shorts are making money. No margin call in that circumstance.
Today it is because the SOTUS put the Chrysler sale on hold for review, they released the news just before the closing bell.
the Cost involved in an Option is a fraction of a stock.. thats the difference
