We always knew that they lied about currency and bonds, now we know that they lie about equities too. What else is new?

So the neo-liberal discourse is just a lot of bunk. Accounting norms GAAP is a lot of bunk. Economis data like the CPI, unemployment rate is a lot of bunk. Banking and the fiat system is hyper bunk. What a advice ? Buy the barbaric relics ? Gold and Silver. And keep your oil and gas shares.

I think the article is very well written, and I enjoyed the perspective.

However, the authors overlooked the latest, the most obvious and blatent attempt at market manipulation: privatization of Social Security.

Remember, all the money in these "private accounts" would have been invested in the stock market!!!

Great article and summary/highlighting. For a small individual investor based in the US, what is the pratical take away. Utilizing the Greenspan Put isn't very comforting, nor is betting against it.

What I have done is basically ignore the medium and large cap US markets for the past 3 years (actually for more like the past 10). Are there any other practical angles to play this?

If the system ever comes apart, it could be spectactular, but that is a 5 sigma (or more) event.

PPT

It’s the real deal

It’s that simple

Something as important as markets, is not left to chance

PPT are able to exert influence, to some extent

No doubt about it
