long-rumored "Plunge Protection Team," True or not True

Quote from Cluseau:

So, you think a Reagan executive order has eluded our perception and universe for the last 22+ years ? You think billionaires are going to trust the muck that lines the exchange floors ? Wise up is my thought.

you don't make sense, earlier you said:

Quote from Cluseau:


Markets have to be manipulated. The cause is flaws in capitalism.

so you think PPT is some alien vodoo conspiracy shit but you say markets have to be manipulated because of the "flaws" in capitalism. And what flaws may that be? Do eco and bio systems require government intervention? No all this intervention bs (whatever form it may be) is just a bailout. Some idiot places a trillion dollar bet on an inflated asset and when the bid disappears, he wants the government to come in and be the bid using your money. If the government stays the hell out of the market, then maybe a responsible hardworking guy with savings or the real smart money can come in and pick up assets at a bargin and actually make a decent well-deserved return on his hard earned money.

The good thing about conspiracy theory is that no theory is too preposterous to write.

But basically, y'all want the Fed or whoever to step aside and allow volatility and rumor to run the market, right? If that happens, I bet the rumor mongers step in and chime together that the Fed is killing them.
