Quote from Brucelee:
Yes, but these finance houses also have retail traders trading through them, and as far as I know, there is no �watermark�identifying who actually placed the trade, only that it came from a particular broker.
Spoozetop; sorry to sound like I am flogging a dead horse, but I do find it fascinating.
I agree Bruce, it is fascinating; the men behind the curtain and the strings they pull. The players include the Federal Reserve...a private bank no more Federal than Federal Express, the big wire houses and the US Government.
I don't know the particulars as to how they scratch each others back, but rest assured, it happens all the time. I would consider myself naive to think otherwise.
