one of the elements people need to realise the science is still very much in it's infancy for the following reason: why does a globalist buy a media station? he actually doesnt know himself. the best he can hope for rationally is what i would call higher order effects sometimes known as volatility
lol, I was called a tin foiled conspiracy theorist for listing everything you just said. What matters in markets, as I have learned in my 23 years in finance, is that credit is everything. Monetarism matters more. The idea that the participants' biases play an important causal role in historical events is both valid and interesting, but it is too general to qualify as a theory that can help to explain and predict the course of events. The enhanced trend will affect the prevailing bias in one of two ways: it will lead to the expectation of further acceleration or to the expectation of a correction. In the latter case, the underlying trend may or may not survive the correction in stock prices. In the former case, a positive bias develops causing a further rise in stock prices and a further acceleration in the underlying trend. So, all being said, Economists would like to tell you that markets are rational when the opposite is true. Markets are always irrational, and since the Central banks like to intervene every way they can, they try to prolong the bull market using artifical monetary value. Don't rely on math, or rational equilibrium, because at the end of the day, you're trading what's in front of you, and you are only as good as your last trade. Manage risk, size you positions accordingly, point. blank. period.
- The Fed is constantly messing with the currency with via monetary policy and rate changes
- J.P. Morgan manipulates gold prices
- Morgan Stanley manipulates LIBOR
- Quantitative Easing conjures money from thin air and pumps it into the markets
- Bailouts, buybacks, and other bull5#17
- Repo market swamped as banks seek fast money to buy new US Treasury issues
- T manipulating the markets to the best of his ability.
- I've heard that the government and banks own 60-80% of all outstanding shares in the U.S. markets.
Where is truth in all this?
With all this tinkering, manipulation, and propping, a rational decision becomes a gamble!
The markets are swamped with interest, it's hard to get a true line on anything.
I almost want to go back to the gold standard.
I don't recall you ever complaining when the market was soaring day after day for the last 11 years. What made you change your mind all of a sudden? You think market was making all-time-highs all on its own without some sort of meddling? Well, it's about time you finally opened your eyes to the reality of market manipulation. BTW you're not the only naive one around here (eg. DOZU)
PS. Do you honestly believe going back to the gold standard would change anything?
We were bound to be manipulated.
I think I'm going to be sick.
Screw it... let's start selling sub-prime mortgages again.

No, we have been manipulated all along. You just haven't realized it until the market began tanking and you lost money.
I have not lost any money at all. I've been buying gold like crazy. Look at my very first post and see if i didn't know what is happening. I'm not going to say I told you so, all I want to tell people now is to buy real tangible assets and not some bipolar number jumping up and down on a screen hypnotizing us into the greatest slumber mankind has ever seen.
Problem is gold is speculative, no different from the markets.
Gold is nearly useless except it's a good non corrosive conductor.
As for jewelry, well like fashion, it changes, maybe gold will be replaced with body art/tattoos or the best looking face masks.
