Does the PPT buy Nasdaq Futures?

I am of the opinion that the SP500 is being extremely manipulated by the govt. I am aware there are many NASDAQ stocks in the SP500 but was wondering if the GOVT also buys nq futures?

 

i doubt it. Geithner says the $5 tick size is for pikers.....

 

When he is "doing" 10,000-lot buys, he's not concerned about tick-size.

 

I have a theory about these 'end of administration" sell-offs ala' Clinton/2000 and Bush/2008. When these Presidents clean up the books by selling all the index futures they'd bought the prior 8 years, bada bing, look out below.

 

That may give new meaning to the "Presidential Cycle". Too bad there is not an annual election!

 

so this is the end of the Obama administration?
