Quote from TGM:
You are right. All the stock indexes are like that. The amount of volume that drives the thing up (even in the naz and the spoo) is a joke.
You think it is manipulation?
I will post an interesting quote for you guys. I have been aroun along time and have seen this quote ONLY RECENTLY. Check out the Fed's DIRECT QUOTE.
In a 1989 Wall Street Journal article, then Federal Reserve board member Robert Heller even suggested a market intervention strategy: âInstead of flooding the entire economy with liquidity, and thereby increasing the danger of inflation, the Fed could support the stock market directly by buying market averages in the futures market, thus stabilizing the market as a whole.â
check out Executive Order 12631
I'm not saying the Govt is manipulating things. Just showing something you may not have seen before.
