What I want to know is why the markets are rising with virtually no trading volume.
Something stinks.
I agree with you. The market rise is nothing but a setup trying to drive cash out of savings, bonds, etc. into the stock market before it crashes. Most of the trading is by the big players to drive up commissions and management fees. A lot of the trading is done by the big players through buying and selling to themselves using separate branches/divisions to mask the transactions.
Because the economy is still in the toilet and most people either don't have any money to invest or are smart enough to stay out. There are nothing but institutional investors playing the market now. This 13K DJI number is absolutely nothing to be impressed about.

.
In short, because the small handful of buyers have become price-insensitive, and are abysmally unaware of the huge threat of a rapid deflation when the house of cards shakes down.
Maybe it’s the same kind of shenanigans that were used to create the “Crisis” that helped get Obama elected - Soros pulling the stirngs making everything look all rosy now.
They’re rising with government money, particularly pension and retirement money goes into this so called “market.”
This makes the market polluted and of course not a free market. This psuedo market is based on TAX flow, period.
Which is why the financial racket wants Romney to counter inflation by CONSOLIDATION and IMPLEMENTATION of Arbeitsziehungslager- Shackle-Care. Which sucks more from non-govt. right into the government system and right into the government poisoned pension market.
Quite insidious.
