Quote from The Kin:

Ben & Paulson are like Batman and Robin. When overnight futures start droping like a rock, it's their bat signal to summon the Plunge Protection Team.

Sorry, Bernanke & Paulson are mere farts in a financial hurricane.....you could not sniff their presence if you tried. They are nothing more than pathetic little yes men in the Globalist (wealth transfer) Games 2008.
 
If you want to study a true "micro" PPT group pump event, then go back and take a look at the CL contract during the month of February 2007! :cool:

Middle East oil wealth entities made a "decision" in the $47's and that was one hell of a ride! :eek:

$47.80 LONG was very very good to me!
 
Quote from kickboxers:

that is the job of that market makers did to buy when nobody wants to buy and sell when nobody wants to sell to stablize price.. traders/market makers have limited capital and will not support price for shareholders.

The FED would be the biggest 'non-profit market maker' in the street.

'non profit'. yeah right.

I guess you chose the blue pill. if morpheus gives you another chance, take the red one.

On this thread? I don't know, but I would be more curious as to how many there are of us on the entire site. Fewer and fewer it seems.
 
Please don't attack, just a thought

Let's say a major Investment Bank or two, working as a proxy for the working committee, slowly starts buying 200 million to 500 million in futures as the market is in a steady decline. Arbs take notice of the price disparity and immediately start shorting futures while buying the underlying stocks, causing a sudden trend reversal. This also causes shorts to cover and investors to stop selling. Indices rapidly erase their losses for the day. Then the IBs, ever so carefully, begin unwinding their long futures contracts for a minor loss or gain on behalf of their client.

What's wrong with the above? And if there is no PPT, this seems like an incredibly good idea for the government to deploy in the event of a market crash.

Again, just a thought.
 
Did the PPT play?!?! I think they pumped up the market more than most people here can imagine. It looked like ESU8 could NOT go down.

1. How many guesses are we allowed?
2. Is there a prize for guessing correctly?
3. When will you tell us the answer? The suspense is killing me.
