Reply #5: How many think the market is manipulated? [View All]

It certainly has no economic rationale based upon logic. The second or now third largest economy takes a huge hit with boundless uncertainties and the market went higher Friday? Normally economic uncertainty, supply chain disruption, huge added Japan debt that could affect purchase of US debt and interest rates, would be at least a flashing yellow light --but no the market went up. The plunge protection team (collusion between Fed Reserve, Treasury, Goldman, etc) was at work manipulating so that a few could lighten up while the sheep were lulled in. These machinations are at the expense of public with added debt and dollar devaluation.

It isn't a free market, it is a manipulated market that the insiders control to their benefit. Institutional investors are forced to play but individual investors are not. Yet when the public sees gains continuing the greed takes over and they buy at the top.
