Bernardo,

You never answered my question about those panties you wear while playing soccer. Are they comfortable?

When the market fell 1000 points, it was because it was being manipulated into a soft landing. When it held constant, it was being artificially held there by manipulation. When it rises, it's being manipulated upwards. It seems that no matter *what* the market does, it's proof of manipulation.

Considering the boom in internet day trading and the huge increase in the number of players, I guess the Plunge Protection Team is a pretty damn big team -- nearly half the people in the country. But I guess you need a team that size to rule the world.

So buy some stock, smitty. Join the team! Or sell some, or hold some. Or stay out of the market. Choose any one, and you're part of Team Manipulation, Ruler of the World.

I imagine the Titanic three days before it hit the ice burg. As Infomagic said yesterday, there's going to be a big pop.

The DOW sucks. This is the first time it has closed higher than it did way back in August, and it is barely higher (less than 1%) than it was way back on May 13. In a couple more months it will show a year-to-date profit of 0, and more probably, a severe loss.
