Bankers Secret Meeting to Control the World? / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: PhilStockWorld
Revisiting the massive global oil scam... Last year, Phil calculated that this $2.5 Trillion dollar operation was 50 times the size of the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme. "It's a number so large that, to put it in perspective, we will now begin measuring the damage done to the global economy in "Madoff Units" ($50Bn rip-offs). That's right - $2.5Tn is 50 TIMES the amount of money that Bernie Madoff scammed from investors in his lifetime, yet it is also LESS than the MONTHLY EXCESS price the global population has to pay for a barrel of oil..."

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Insider Trading? / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: PhilStockWorld
Interview with Larry Doyle at Sense on Cents, by Ilene
Here's the hypocrisy of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority* (FINRA); it dumped a portfolio of Auction Rate Securities* (ARS) before the ARS market froze up in early 2008. People are asking legitimate questions and FINRA is refusing to answer. When FINRA wants its questions answered, it knows how to get the answers through its subpoena power. Why won't FINRA fess up and be transparent about its dealings in the ARS market?

Stock Market Manipulation, Interest Rates and Dow Theory Bear Rally / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Tim_Wood
I continue to believe, based on the evidence at hand, that the rally out the March 2009 low is a large scale bear market rally that should ultimately prove to separate Phase I from Phase II of the much larger and ongoing secular bear market. But, just as I told my subscribers before that low was even made, the longer this rally holds up, the more dangerous it becomes. Reason being, it becomes more and more convincing. I also continue to receive questions asking whether or not the Dow theory or any other market discipline is still applicable in light of the manipulation.

China Yuan Currency Manipulation, Free Trade versus Fair Trade / Currencies / Market Manipulation
By: Jim_Farrish
The fantasy of forcing China to float the yuan against the dollar is building steam. There have been attempts to persuade the Chinese government to this end, but they have not listened, nor do they really intend to act. The yuan has floated higher by 1.8% over the last five weeks, but that is a pittance compared with the destruction of the dollar by US policy, in an attempt to devalue the dollar in hopes of exporting more goods.

U.S. and China Playing Currency Manipulation Kabuki / Currencies / Market Manipulation
By: Dian_L_Chu
In his testimony before the U.S. Congress last Thursday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner accused China of "very substantial" currency intervention, and the U.S. will use every available tool to urge China to let the yuan rise more quickly, including taking it up in front of the G20 Summit and WTO. President Obama quickly followed up with some more tough rhetoric on Monday, while U.S. lawmakers are weighing new legislation against China.

Charts Reveal Stock Market Truths / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
There has been a lot of discussion lately about whether or not we are in a bull market or bear market. Is the economic ‘recovery’ for real or just a government stimulus blip? Should Representative Maxine Waters face charges of misusing her office to get her husband’s bank some of that TARP money? Personally, I think Ms. Waters is being unjustly accused. So she used her office for self-enrichment. Isn’t that what we elect Congress people to do? Aren’t they just pigs at a trough helping themselves to everything they can plunder from the suckers that vote for them? She’s an American politician for crying out loud. I expect them to be corrupt, sleazy, self-promoting, narcissistic pigs. I’m never disappointed. What’s all the fuss about? Back to my story.

Stock Market Flash Crash Prompts Investors to Flee Equities / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Mike_Whitney
Robert Herz was forced to resign from his job as as chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) because he insisted that the banks assign a fair value to their assets. That's not what you'll read in the papers, but it's true just the same. Herz was a major proponent of mark-to-market accounting, a simple means of determining the value of a bond or security by comparing the price of similar assets sold at market. In other words, Herz is a defender of universally-accepted accounting principles, which is why he was terminated, er, I mean, resigned. According to the Wall Street Journal:
