Are the above members of the PPT conducting official PPT business or are they just lost and just so happen to bump into the President on the whitehouse lawn during a speech regarding plunge protection.
This has been discussed ad-nausiem on here. Enough with the PPT threads. Is public-knowledge they exist... no big deal.
If the plunge protection team exists, why has the market plunged over 20% from it's high? Doesn't sound like a very competent team to me.
Greenspan talks about the PPT in his book. As you all know, FOMC stands for Federal <b>Open Market</b> Committee, and one of their operations to promote price stability is the purchase of Index Futures on the open market. The PPT deployed all their forces today.
