    Short answer is: There used to be a PPT, nowadays there are circuit breakers built into the system that simply just suspends trading after a certain % drop.

    If a person wants to understand markets, and in particular the equities market, they can not do better than to read Soros.

    'No' simply doesn't cut it as an answer. The government certainly has stepped in & bailed banks out last time, how's that not PPT?

    Please let's have some fact based info to back your opinion that PPT does not exist. Otherwise, it's nothing more than an opinion of which there are plenty.

    I don't need proof, just like you don't need proof of its non-existence.

    Of course it's a stretch cause people would notice. Central Banks are pretty transparent, even when they try not to be.
