Chinese Currency Manipulation is America’s Fault / Currencies / Market Manipulation
By: Ian_Fletcher
Despite the Obama administration's desperate efforts to keep the issue off the boil, Chinese currency manipulation is back in the news again. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner just politely postponed his official report on the question, and Beijing seems to have responded to this courtesy by hinting that it may allow some token appreciation in its currency.

Metals Market Manipulation Update: Are The Metals markets Rigged? Do Fish Swim?! / Commodities / Market Manipulation
By: Jim_Richter
During the time I have been writing this newsletter, I have frequently mentioned the blatant manipulation of the gold and silver markets. For background on this issue, please see my article in the May, 2009, issue. The manipulation of gold has been accomplished primarily by central banks selling or leasing gold into the markets so as to artificially depress the prices. The bullion banks (e.g., JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and others) have also helped suppress the prices of gold and silver by selling them short on the commodities exchanges. Read full article...

Financial Manipulation on Wall Street: An Economy run on Smoke and Mirrors / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Bob_Chapman
We have an economy run on smoke and mirrors, based on the manipulation of markets. That was accomplished via the executive order signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 in the aftermath of the stock market collapse of October 19, 1987, known as the “President’s Working Group on Financial markets.” This order intended to be implemented during emergencies has been used to manipulate markets worldwide 24/7.

By: DeepCaster_LLC

Government Media Complex Manipulated Statistics, The Greatest Show on Earth / Politics / Market Manipulation
By: Andy_Sutton
For many years the title of ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ belonged to Ringling Brothers and its travelling circus. I had the pleasure of seeing the extravaganza for the first time about a year ago and was amazed at the talent of the performers, their skills, and the hours and hours of practice time that went into making everyone sit on the edge of their seats for the better part of two and a half hours.

Global Financial Dominance and Control, All Roads Lead to Goldman Sachs / Politics / Market Manipulation
By: Rob_Kirby
Once upon a time, Goldman Sachs shunned publicity. During the period from 1930 to 1969, Sydney Weinberg ran Goldman Sachs where he developed a staunch corporate cultural aversion to publicity. During the 1970s, a tandem of John Weinberg and John Whitehead assumed the reigns of leadership at Goldman Sachs. Whitehead left the company in 1984 to enter public life. John Weinberg carried on in the same vein as his father Sydney – shunning publicity – to the point where he hired a man to keep his name and his firm's out of the press.

Stock Market Funny Action Friday: What Happened? / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Graham_Summers
Many investors have written in asking me what happened on Friday. For those of you who weren’t watching the tape, stocks entered a free fall around 1PM Eastern Time. It looked like we were going to get another massive drop similar to the one that occurred at Thursday’s open.
However, suddenly at 2PM stocks began to stage a sharp reversal with virtually every major US index ramping over 1% in a matter of minutes. Having collapsed for days, stocks actually managed to close Friday at a gain.

By: Clif_Droke
Our recent commentary on the subject of market manipulation elicited a wide range of feedback, pro and con. Some respondents agreed with my assertion that, assuming the existence of market manipulation, it doesn’t preclude one’s ability to successfully navigate financial markets with a reliable technical discipline. Others expressed the view that manipulation and government/central bank interference in the market make it untenable for small traders to be participants.

Wall Street’s Power Grab, The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission Hearings / Politics / Market Manipulation
By: Michael_Hudson
You almost could hear the bankers heave a sigh of relief when Haiti’s earthquake knocked the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission hearings off the front pages and evening news broadcasts last week. At stake, after all, is Wall Street’s power grab seeking to centralize policy control firmly in its own hands by neutralizing the government’s regulatory agencies. The first day – Wednesday, January 15 – went innocuously enough. Four emperors of finance were called on to voice ceremonial platitudes and pro forma apologies without explaining what they might be apologizing for. Typical was the statement by Goldman Sachs chairman Lloyd C. Blankfein: “Whatever we did, it didn’t work out well. We regret the consequence that people have lost money.”
