You must not be a technically driven trader. And you must have been "asleep" the last couple of months as the dollar weakened and the entire energy and commodity sector in the stock market rallied.
Most of these people are not moron but quite smart. They just running their genetic algorithm for self preservation in a society. Many of these public (and private) positions fit well as a resource cache that can be used for personal gain. The trick is to get away while keeping up an societal decent/responsible front. All individuals are design like this, some are obviously better than others. That's how selection and evolution works. This is the norm in human societies and most that are using this strategy benefit and prosper.
Do you really think that the decisions & actions being taken by the government & the Fed are not doing what they are intended to do? As for who runs the world, you can start looking at the Bilderberg group for some answer. That's a start.
The real LOL! is that you're listening without skipping a beat. The sad part is that most actually believe the propaganda and take it at face value.

HEE-HEE. Make bargains with the government and you normally come to regret it.
