My apologies for not remembering who posted it, but someone pointed out that yesterday (Thursday) the American Markets went down in concert with the Euro markets, but as soon as the Euro markets closed the American Markets started going back up strongly, and it was the ES futures that paved the way. That is Chairman Mao Bernanke's typical method of manipulating the Markets up: using the S&P futures.
The observation was a good one, and I believe it to be true: the American stock markets will not come down because Ben Bernanke will not LET them come down. He intends to prop them up and keep them propped up by whatever means necessary. Yesterday was a clear and all too blatant example of this.
And I believe this will continue until Ben Bernanke is ousted as FED Chairman and/or drops dead (literally). As long as he is alive and in charge, those markets will be propped. IMHO it will take a catastrophe on the order of a nuclear attack on New York City to significantly drop these Markets.
I know some don't agree, but if you (plural) can refute what I've said above, I'll hear it gladly.
