Terry,
To each his own. I respect your skepticism. However, "this kind of
thinking" has served me well since 1968 when I entered the business as a
stockbroker in Wash, D.C. In 1970 I started making markets in numerous OTC
stocks. Been short-term trading T-bond futures since '92. The PPT is a
brainchild of The President's Working Group on Financial Markets formed by
Executive Order 12631 in 1988 under President Reagan. On occasion, I've
been able to "stand aside" when powerful, unexplained forces suddenly moved
the market. Was it the PPT? I can't really say. I just know I'm a
survivor. For me, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
You're right, it does "not lead to success in short term trading," but it
has helped keep me successful. In the 90's I used to contribute frequently
to RealTraders. I stopped when innuendo, snide comments and personal
attacks began to outweigh any appreciation for my contribution and/or point
of view. Many other members left or stopped contributing. I just stopped
contributing.
In any event, I appreciate everyone that does contribute, including Eliot.
On November 17th this month I replied to an email from Earl and referenced
the Liberty Dollar. If any of you checked it out, you know the LD is set to
have its silver base revalued 2:1 against the U.S. Dollar. Holders of
Liberty Dollars in digital (electronic) form will see their accounts
automatically double the day after Thanksgiving. And if any of you are
wondering, this isn't insider information.
I wish you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving . . .
Regards,
Pete Hallock

>> The Federal Reserve announced on November 10th, without

>> Why? It's simple, really. So that the Plunge Protection Team can

>>
>> We have continuously demonstrated the high correlation between
>> growth in M-3 and a rising stock market. We have also
>> demonstrated that when M-3 either declines or stays the same,
>> the stock market is prone to decline. The Fed knows its
>> hypocritical hyperinflationary expansion of the money supply
>> recently has been publicized by Fed watchers, and that 12

>> raising short-term interest rates aggressively, and jawboning a
>> determination to stop inflation, is nothing short of illogical,
>> bizarre Fed behavior. The reason for the dichotomy is quite
>> simple. The Fed can electronically print money and hand it over
>> to the PPT to buy this stock market. That has to be why all the
>> extra M-3 growth over the past several months.
>>
>> When we presented the Hindenburg Omen analysis several weeks
>> ago, we warned that the PPT would likely buy this market to stop
>> the higher-than-normal probability that the market could crash.
>> Why did we warn that the PPT would likely buy this market, and
>> stop any potential crash? Because of the M-3 numbers. We could
>> see there was too much money being created. We know that the way
>> money gets into the economy is by the Fed buying securities.
>> Inflation is too much money (M-3) chasing goods. Well, GDP
>> (goods and services) is growing annually around 3.8 percent, yet
>> M-3 was being pumped at three times that rate of growth. The
>> difference had to go somewhere. It did. Into markets, and very
>> probably equity markets.
>>
>> Why all the M-3? Undoubtedly because the PPT wanted to
>> manipulate markets at this time for reasons that are secret to
>> everyone but them. We are left to speculate as to those reasons.
>> Is the economy closer to the brink than anyone realizes? Or, is
>> it politically expedient to goose markets? Do the corporatist

>> Really begs the question, once again, why? Obviously because the

>> they believe they are going to need to buy equity and bond
>> markets aggressively next year. Do they see a catastrophe coming
>> that will require hyperinflation to bail the U.S. out? Maybe.
>> Every time we've had a tragic event of mass proportions in 2005,
>> the equity markets have mysteriously risen out of the blue,
>> sharply, taking shorts to the cleaners. London bombing, Katrina,
>> Rita, indictment of a top administration official, etc... Yes,
>> the Master Planners have learned that they have the wherewithal
>> and the gall to buy the markets - and get away with it. They
>> have learned that at those times when markets are at greatest
>> risk, when shorts have their positions lined up, a little S&P
>> futures index buying, a select few large cap stock buys, a leak
>> to the trading floor that their golden boy trader is buying is
>> enough to send the shorts scurrying for cover and buy the
>> market. You see, the PPT only needs to kick start the buying.
>> Then the shorts buy. Then the Hedge Funds jump on the bandwagon
>> in search of that elusive trend - either up or down - deciding
>> it is going to be up, and keep the rally going. But by the time
>> the Hedgies are buying, the PPT is able to get out (and their
>> Wall Street friends who took the risk and bought with them
>> early) at a nice profit, the shorts are out licking their
>> losses, and we watch a waning rally with low upside volume, low
>> advance/decline ratios, and a high number of New Lows - kinda
>> like right now.
>>
>> Yes, don't let the technical analysts and Fed watchers know when

>> needs the shorts in. But the March 2006 M-3 announcement makes
>> one wonder. What in the world are they going to be up to next
