As far as PPT 'masking their trading activity', no, I'm dead serious about looking to confirm it. Are you saying if I watched Citigroup and JPM brokered trades, especially during anomalous plunge reversals, I'd see the PPT in action?

Do you actually think that they are going to announce or admit to any market interventions? This is part of the shadow government and much of their power comes from keeping their activities secret. They must maintain the illusion of a free market. All hell would break loose otherwise. Got to keep Joe-6 flim flamed and scammed.

Do you actually think that they are going to announce or admit to any market interventions?

No.

Does a statistical correlation exist with any large tradeing program? Yes. If the PPT is intervening, there are bread crumbs (somewhere) to follow.

Do you have any concrete suggestions as to where to look to confirm such PPT activity, or have you simply assumed that all the anecdotal reports consitute proof of the PPT and not some other effect (companies protecting their share prices and buybacks on the dips, for example)?
