” The writer put together a similar scenario as Glenn Beck but concluded that GS would be the ones handling all of the credit trades. “

Count on it, and with the blessing of Obama.

Obama could be bought off very easily. No need for elaborate conspiracies.

I think you’ve pretty well figured out the game being played. All of us small investors are merely pawns and collateral damage.

My conspiracy theory is that this was a test run to shake investor confidence in the market. A couple more and then Obama can ride to the rescue by taking your 401k and ‘guaranteeing’ a return. Who knows, he might even be able to postpone elections.

Yeah, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the bummer comes out calling for new laws on stock trades due to yesterday’s “unexpected” plunge too.

No conspiracy, and no accidental button push, either.
Were they really trying to sell that crapola to the masses?
Check the web, people - ALL the markets tanked. I wonder what today's excuse is going to be (down 153 as of this writing)?

Ditto. If they had the ability to manipulate the market like that, we'd see 1000 point swings on a daily basis.

Traders only make money when the market is in a state of flux (either up or down).

Painful....many moons ago, wifey and I decided to totally withdraw our retirement for any sort of stocks or funds......cash only.

We don't make anything, but we're intact (other than the minimal inflation factor).
