Quote from freewilly:
gnome,
agree, PPT is different from typical traders. The goal is different, PPT's goal is not to make money, but instead PPT wants to stabilize the market.
Also PPT has lot of money, but not "unlimited". I gave PPT credit for picking up the perfect spot yesterday to manipulate the market. If PPT had unlimited money, PPT could reverse the course at any point.
It looks to me that PPT also wants to use their money most efficiently.
Of course the PPT has unlimited money... Treasury provides it. They don't need all that much to stampede the markets at an appropriate time... what... 20,000 cars? Even if it took 100K cars... market traded 4.4 Million yesterday... PPT was highly likely long gone by the close...
