If in fact, the midterm elections theory is true, how is it done? Is some institution manipulating the market by bringing artificial demand and therefore keeping the markets propped up??? I understand the theory but just dont see how it could possibly work? If it is true, arent the markets, in fact, rigged?
enlighten me.....

1) Remember that conveniently timed U.S. Gulf of Mexico, major oil find a few weeks ago? That's what sparked the oil selloff/stock market rally to begin with. More likely than not, this 'new' vast oil reserve is anything but a recent discovery.
Republican strategists timed this 'news' perfectly.
2) The PPT is REAL. No joke. I've seen the executive order that created it after the '87 crash.
3) The ruling party controls the release of all economic data. They have the incentive to make everything look peachy until the midterm elections are done.

how bout an educated response? Better yet, why dont you tell me how it works....
Keep in mind, I dont disagree with some of these theories, I just dont comprehend how the indexes could be propped for an extended amount of time.

Well, because the subject was brought up again in THIS thread. And I posed a question for which I do not have a clear understanding. If you arent capable of bringing something productive to the conversation why dont go back to sucking your thumb and cuddling with your blankie....
