Here is an interesting tidbit http://www.nyse.com/Frameset.html?displ ... ading.html

“Program Tradingâ€
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
-- Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Government (July 1, 1854)

Public Leaving Market

Unread postby MountainHiker » Sat 26 Mar 2005, 10:44:28

Hi Pops,

I follow urbansurvival regularly myself and saw that post yesterday too. It looks like the big boys are playing a shell game in an attempt to keep the illusion alive and pull in more suckers . Of course, getting an infusion of Social Security money will prop up the pyramid a while longer, but the average folks will lose their shirts while the market manipulators will walk away with everything. It will be 401K deja vu all over again.

If Ure's right and we add the Fed's presses running 24-7 at top speed the past few years to the mix, it could get ugly really quickly if the media (don't count on it) or the general public decides to look behind the curtain.
"One thing more dangerous than getting between a grizzly sow and her cub is getting between a businessman and a dollar bill." -Ed Abbey

Isn't it strange that the same people who laugh at gypsy fortune tellers take economists seriously?
