 | Wikipedia defines “market manipulation” as the following - Market manipulation is a deliberate attempt to interfere with the free and fair operation of the market and create artificial, false or misleading appearances with respect to the price of, or market for, a security, commodity or currency.[1] Market manipulation is prohibited in the United States under Section 9(a)(2)[2][3] of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and in Australia under Section s 1041A of the Corporations Act 2001. The Act defines market manipulation as transactions which create an artificial price or maintain an artificial price for a tradeable security.
Dictionary.com says…
1. to handle or use, esp with some skill, in a process or action
2. to negotiate, control, or influence (something or someone) cleverly, skillfully, or deviously
3. to falsify (a bill, accounts, etc) for one's own advantage
4. (in physiotherapy) to examine or treat manually, as in loosening a joint
What both Wikipedia and Dictionary.com were missing was a picture of central bankers in general or Ben Bernanke in particular with each definition of manipulation.
Apparently, central bankers are not content with simply supporting banks when they’re in trouble, but they believe they should directly support global stock markets. Said another way, the main mission is now to directly MANIPULATE the market to force higher share prices.
Thursday gave us yet another glaring example of said manipulation. The markets were up early, despite another horrendous weekly jobless claims number, because traders believed QE3 was a lock.
In the early afternoon a would-be bombshell was dropped on the market: France was DOWNGRADED. Evidently, the bombshell was a dud. The market did drop, but very slowly. It was so slow in fact; it felt like the shocking factual news was being ignored in favor of hopium.
The central banking cabal couldn’t wait for the market to sink its teeth into another sovereign downgrade. After all, Spain’s downgrade on Wednesday led to a sustained sell-off and the do-gooders in the central banking cartel couldn’t wait for that to happen again. Moreover, Greece is holding elections this weekend and there is a good chance that an anti-bailout party will win.
Bernanke & Co. had to act. The kings of meddling had to interfere, pardon, manipulate. Before the French downgrade got rolling and caused another stock market decline, news came out that the Politburo of Banksters were ready to act – they are ready for global coordinated central planning.
Thank you comrade Bernanke. Thank you for not even hiding the fact that you don’t give a damn about anything but supporting share prices, which is the opposite of a free market.
Bernanke & Co: to negotiate, control, or influence (something or someone) cleverly, skillfully, or deviously.
Bernanke & Co, guilty of: The Act (of 1934) defines market manipulation as transactions which create an artificial price or maintain an artificial price for a tradeable security.
Trade well and follow the trend, not the so-called “experts.” Behold the age of infinite moral hazard! On April 2nd, 2009 CONgress forced FASB to suspend rule 157 in favor of deceitful accounting for the TBTF banking mafia.
