Oh for God's sake. Of course the stock market is rigged. Jim Cramer describes one kind of rigging right here: http://antisocialmedia.net/?page_id=87
And what about the Pro's who shorted the market betting that sooner or later easy credit will blow up only to find they lose their bets due to the fed propping the market up??? Believe me when I tell you that it wasn't just the "pros" who saw that writing on the wall and shorted, for instance, the homebuilders some months ago, and just because the Fed has extended a three-day loan does not mean that short is off the table.
