I've seen market makers make havoc with penny stocks and even some small cap companies. I would think that it would take alot of clout to manipulate larger companies.



Any input???

it does....the programed trading of the big brokerage firms has more power now than they did in 1999/2000.

many more mom and pop types(like us here)invest in mutuals, stox, and optionsnowadays.

when one tries to look deeper into what the hell they are up to u run into the secretive world of derivatives, most of which are off book.

jpm alone has about 100 times it's worth out in the form of derivatives....if one or two percent came due they would have to run to the fed 4 help.

still say if we were to crash it shoiuld of occured after 911. the crazy amount of liquidity pumped into the economy by AG kept us from doing so. some day we will have to pay up.:shock:

many models say 2010-2015 is when it all hits the fan. theUS has a history of kensyian economics in reguards to the money supply. the differance today is the hugh amount of fluff everyone is working with....we have never been close to these levels of debt. hopefully the world will accept our fiat money for all our debts...if not wars have been fought over less.:s

Interesting graphs. However, this is the SP500 stocks. JMO, but I would say that the sell off yesterday was people cashingin their stocks before the weekend. The day before,there seemed to ba a wall rightat +200. After theDow passed +200, there was a big jump to finish the day. It only makes sense thata sell off would occur the next day. Also, it was the end of the week for many earnings.

It would take many market makers and major manipulation to effect the SP 500 in this way. However, it cannot be ruled out. I would also think the SEC would see it happening too.
