I don't know how likely it is, but.... I have read articles suggesting that the Fed and/or the Treasury were buying up stocks, in after hours trading in order to move the futures ahead of the open. Takes much less leverage to move futures as compared to the overall market.
Just seems odd to me. So many times, during these run-ups, the Dow futures seem to be right at, or around $40. Maybe, there is some natural reason for it to settle around there?? Doesn't seem totally random to me.
Someone tell me how the scam part works.

Ah; we're just thinking out loud. For actual money things we really need to know what's going on but for merely accusing others of criminal activity behind their backs --all that knowing-the-facts stuff is completely unnecessary. My mama always used to tell me that before criticizing someone we must first walk a mile in their shoes and she was absolutely right. It's that when we do criticize them they'll not only be a mile away, but we'll also have their shoes!
