It's one thing having the PPT rig the close...only have to buy 30 stocks to move the DOW up. Nevertheless there is an ongoing flight to quality from the hedge funds, look to see more hedge fund redemption freezes this week. I doubt if the PPT can help the hedge funds, but they may be able to rig...
