Plunge Protection Team Conspiracies Linked to 9/11 Truth

yes it ALL sounds "plausible" but here's my problem

people always want causality because that allows them to "understand" the relationship between two things

and that means a sense of "control" in their minds which humans always seek to have

when the market doesn't go their way, im sure it's easier for those on the losing side to not blame themselves for their inferior trading skills, but to blame a third party which was outside their control

and thus, all im saying is it's extremely easy to just artifically create an entity that isn't even there to justify one's loss of self esteem

now, im a FIRM believer that the market moves because of people's immediate positions in the markets, and their reaction to the previous price

it's got nothing to do with technical or fundamental

if you've been trading for any sensible amoutn of time, im sure you'd know that because i trade myself every day from 3 am until around 11 am EST

the nature of a market collapse is such that everyone tends to lose control and creates a panic

that is because MOST market participants are leaning on the long side

it's only the traders/speculators that tend to short

when equities lose value, the long side participants sell from panic

and that creates a more vicious momentum than an upside move would

traders jump in short, and more longs get their stops hit

and when downward momentum is depleted, it's EXTREMELY easy and obvious to see an upward retracement coming

now, i don't understand why people go to the distance and formulate a government consipiracy when a short squeeze happens day in and day out

you know about that volkswagen stock that trades on europe

i highly doubt a government entity created that

people's positions move markets, nothing else, in my opinion
