I think we are going to see an interesting phenomenon.
Huge dumps of stock that do not result in the stock market dropping. But how can this be?
The market indicators are based on a limited number of companies. If these companies do not move, it strongly limits how much the rest of the market can move.
So let’s say you have billions of dollars, and you can *invisibly* put money into, or take it out of the market indices.
No matter what the rest of the market did, you could at least create the illusion that nothing was happening.
Ah, you might say, but nobody could do this *invisibly*.
Well, almost nobody. The federal government and the FED can do this, with no one the wiser. Their transactions are invisible.
For much of the last four years, market volatility has been very limited. At times, volume has been relatively tiny, seemingly nobody buying or selling.
But at the same time, tens of billions of dollars of stock has been dumped by people entirely leaving the market. Under any legitimate circumstance, the indices should be half of what they are right now.
Yet the indices just sit there, for the most part. As if somebody with many billions of dollars has been buying up that stock and doing nothing with it.
Why not? After all, it’s not *their* money they are using.
Hasn't the S&P 500 about doubled in the last 4 yrs?
If they can game something as simple as “one man, one vote” they can certainly game a stock market that only 1 in 100 understands.
