show an unbelieveable ability to control the market

What is really frightening and disturbing is to see how the "who's who" of the Fed and corporate America seem to be eager and willing participants in scamming the public. Even worse, they seem to be working together in a planned effort. It is so dishonest. The economy is weak, people are losing their jobs and the future doesn't like it is improving. Why can't they just tell the darn truth?

Think 'Ponzi'. The game only stays afloat as long as there are suckers buying in. When the cash stops coming in, the house of cards falls. As long as people treat the equities markets like a big casino, I'm staying the hell away from it. VIX and S&P P/E in the 35 range is pretty much still bubble territory IMHO.
