The action over the last few mornings is total manipulation buy a big firm, they are goosing this thing 100 points on 1000 lots. Dont tell me this is an accumulation of traders, bull its a large firm manipulating the index.
Dow stocks are 30 of the 500 in S&Ps. No one is manipulating the Dow... 470 other S&P stocks are being pushed along with them by SP00S futures. All indexes are moving in unison now. No more sector rotation, pushing jello around on a plate. We've got active markets moving in tandem thru genuine buy/sell pressure. May it last forever!
Mini - I hate to crack your manipulation theory, but it simply does not exist and Austin pointed out why. Traders calling a market manipulated is another description for 1) I lost money and need to blame someone other than myself or 2) I sat & watched thousands of dollars trade and did not make a penny. By your repeated threads about how terrible the markets are lately, I would strongly suggest you sit out, go take a vacation or do something other than trade. It feels like every day in the last week there is a new thread from you complaining about the action here recently. We get the point. It's time to adjust your trading methodology or don't trade volatile times.
man, i have been LOVING this volatility. losers complain about "manipulation" the idea that 1000 lots is going to move the ENTIRE DOW COMPLEX 100 points is patently absurd. here's a hint. figure out the capitalization of GE, MO, etc. and try to understand how 1000 lots on the mini, which is merely $60 mill notional value could not move the dow that much it's absurd. the markets move by supply and demand. loser complain that the movements are "manipulated" when they miss a trade, or get caught on the wrong side.
whats wrong, La Surda? cant handle a bit of levity from people that gotta be dead serious and out front all week and grow a business. Leave the kid alone, got damit.
