For the market to rally right now has got to be some kine of scam.

[FromLori]

That’s for sure. Snippet..

In the real economy, unemployment is at Depression-era levels (see this, this and this).

In the real economy, bank loan loss rates will be higher than the Depression.

In the real economy, government revenue is at its lowest level since the Depression, and most states are on the verge of bankruptcy.

In the real economy, the world economy is crashing faster than during the Depression (and see this).

But in the make-believe world of the government and the financial giants, the recession is over.

How do they do it?

Well, as I noted a couple of days ago, the boys use:

High-frequency trading, program trading-based frontrunning, and other computer-based manipulation of the markets
Creation and manipulation of bubbles
The Plunge Protection Team
Intervention in the gold, currency markets, and bond markets
Bear raids, naked short selling, and credit default swap holders driving companies into bankruptcy

With Obama’s poll numbers fading fast, can you imagine what they’d be if we weren’t given this bogus rally?

It serves as a distraction for his highly unpopular plans.

Each day, there is a flagpole rally where most of the gains are right at the start so that when the sheeple buy into it, the Boyz sell you what they bought at the open. Goldman Sucks is the priniple beneficiary.

Obama’s agenda would shrivel down to nothing if the market was allowed to tank. The manipulation can only go on for so long before reality sets in and sends it where it's suppose to be.

You got it. This is a suckers rally driven probably by the same short hedge funds who wiped it out to get O elected.
