Volkswagen shares rose 147 % !

These 'market anomalies'make me wonder if it's more rational to bring your money to the casino instead to the stock exchange:

VW shares soar as hedge funds are pounded

By Richard Milne in London
Montag Okt 27 2008 13:55
Volkswagen's shares more than doubled after Porsche moved to cement its control of Europe's largest carmaker and hedge funds rushed to buy stock from a shrinking pool of shares in free float to cover short positions.

The shares rose 147 per cent after Porsche unexpectedly disclosed that through the use of derivatives it had increased its stake in VW from 35 per cent to 74.1 per cent, sparking outcry among investors, analysts and corporate governance experts.

Perhabs it will break the neck of some hedge funds.

Please be nice and follow Dr. Paul's living example of kindness, respect and humility.

Ron Paul was right

The hook is baited

Quick, Jump back in. The bottom has been hit.

Suckers beware. The tone where I live is very somber. People are losing jobs left and right. I think the bottom is along way off.

We are responsible for our own lives. Just take a long deep breath and wait.

What did "Rhino" predict for today?

I thought he said it would go down. But, he had been right every day so far.

This is ALSO the day that

This is ALSO the day that Paulson started spending $125 BILLION dollars out of the $851 BILLION bailout....

What is PPT? Pardon my

What is PPT? Pardon my ignorance. You know when I saw it up 894pt. I didn't yell yeah. When it was at 8,100 I didn't say "oh my". I just want the ride to stop so I can stop being dizzy and then get on while the ride is stopped at the bottom.

They use taxpayer money to fix the stock market.
When the market is going down they buy stocks and when it is going up they sell stocks.
They do this too manipulate the market. That is the reason they even exist, to fix or rig the market.
In other words they are professional market manipulators paid by the government. The fix is in.
Do you think they might buy stocks when they are low priced for themselves and the use plunge funds to drive the price up and when it gets where they want it then sell their personal stocks, and if they can do it once would they do it again?
Of course not that would be criminal and we all know government employees are all honest.
Criminals go into honest work like banking.

scary because

they have enough cash on the sidelines to artificially sustain the market through the election and possibly get the masses to buy into the bullshit and elect McCain. Oh honey, the market is up now so everything must be okay and the FED's plan is working! Damn they are good.

Fear lost

Fear lost 16.36% today. But I'm still bullish on fear. :-)

The day it actually does go up significantly and stays there for

a good deal of time, that means the cork on the money supply has been released and say hello to the first day of massive hyperinflation.

Watching Prices and Asset Values Change

Right. The massive amounts of new money are going into the Fed end of the pipe. The early receivers get to spend it. Whatever they decide to spend it on gets bid up in the market beyond what would have happened absent the Fed's money creation.

Some are going to spend the money on stocks at bargain prices. We will see the stock market "recover".

Some early receivers are going to pay off debts because they have discovered they are too highly leveraged and they want to increase their safety.

Only very late receivers of newly-created money will bid up prices of food, housing, and gasoline. So look for late-receiver inflation to happen later in the sequence.

Watch to see which early receivers are chosen. This will give the best clues as to where prices and asset values will be bid up. For example, if auto makers receive bailout money, look for increases in prices and asset values in industries supplying auto makers.

Also, everywhere new money is spent, new malinvestment will be created. Malinvestment is a product of deceit and false information. The basic deceit surrounds the value of money. This is illuminated by how the new expanded supplies of money are funnelled to favored interests. Watch, for example, as malinvestment compounds in an alternative energy market.

The new American administration will not be able to resist massive money creation even if they find any philosophical reason to want to do so. They deny the existence of malinvestment. They have nothing but good to say concerning money creation and artificial low interest rates. Therefore, you can count on this practice to continue and to accelerate.

They will destroy the value of the dollar, but they will use every trick and every lie and every threat to keep people using dollars. Look for gold to be outlawed as one of the fascist measures enacted to force use of the dollar. But this will be a late stage when Americans are seriously looking at alternative stores of value.

With repetitions of truth and common sense, we can turn the population against the fascists. We will have ample opportunity.

Interesting.

I wouldn't have thought that but it makes sense.

I recall a number of

I recall a number of economists and even Dr. Paul himself predicting that the post-bailout market would be a volatile roller coaster for a short period of time before the collapse. This is exactly what we're seeing now with these large up & down swings.

The real question is *when* the collapse is going to happen.

Worst ride at disney world

Hmmm.

So let me get this straight.

1. Consumer confidence is at a 41 year low.
2. The governements of the world mysteriously all have the same idea of pumping money into the banking system.
3. The banks are holding onto the money from the FED to buy other smaller banks.
4. Nearly every profit report released is dismal.
5. Nearly every forecast has been adjusted way down.
6. No one is spending a dime.

AND THE MARKET SOARS!!!!!! Great job PPT dumbasses!

Bullish/bearish

Some of those items in the list are bullish. For example, consumer confidence at an all-time low means that all the small fry who are going to sell have sold already. Governments printing money is bullish for the market too, in nominal terms.

But the real reason the market soared today has to do with the yen and US commercial paper. The yen carry trade has been unwinding, sending the yen to an all-time high, and stocks down, down, down. In the last day, something happened. Either the carry trade unwinding is abating, or central banks intervened in the foreign exchange market. For whatever reason, the yen lost some 4.5% vs. the dollar and euro. In one day! Everything else except the dollar was up, including gold and silver, but particularly commercial paper. The Treasury is buying commercial paper. Is the yen carry trade back on?

That's the way it's going to be until the de-leveraging story clears up. The stock market is a casino in which you bet on what the Treasury and central bankers are going to do next.

So

you don't think the market is manipulated? I mean I am not an economist or investor but anyone with common sense could see that the market is manipulated. If a ball goes up in the air, it must come down however if that same ball is thrown in the air and gets exchanged for a different ball at the vertex of flight and returns to the ground as the different ball did the original ball ever drop? That was a simple question posed by a physics professor of mine in college and not one person could answer it; not even the professor because it has no answer. That is how I see the markets behaving lately.

"There can be only one permanent revolution - a moral one: The regeneration of the inner man."
—Tolstoy

"The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore the soul deceives and despises."
