@ who WAS #1? ~ Your link isn't the right one.
@ Pluto ~ I have a problem with your response. Bubbles have one thing in common, an influx of new investment capital. Retirement funds are already heavily invested in the market. In order to create a bubble, they would have to been winners in the market and investing that new money.
@ Dallas ~ Could you explain why QE fiat capital is causing this bubble?
@ heretic ~ Could you explain how a drop in bond interest rates could cause a market bubble?
@ marvin, ~ Some of that is what happens during a bust cycle, I hardly think those things cause a bubble.
@ Phillip ~ QE3 to the tune of $85 billion in monthly bond purchases, is certainly artificially inflating stock prices. However, the frog-skin money is going to banks in the form of bond purchases, not to energy producers and farm moguls. Bond interest rates are very low. The Bond market obviously has a dynamic influence on stock prices.

If surprisingly in its simplicity, this is indeed a simple thievery scam. The stock prices are driven up as "agent" US banksters arrogantly take over and utilize US working class pension funds to BID THE STOCKS UP -- in prep for the big US working class ripoff each 10 years or so...

This is how US Bankster Wall Street works… I’m afraid you don't understand how US Bankster Wall Street works…

Stock market “losses” (whether “recessionary”) are scammed exclusively out of US working class pension funds -- funds which had paid premiums for stocks in the recent past (at that time stocks which bought FROM US Banksters, since US Banksters conveniently “manage” US working class pension funds). Later, US Banksters force-buy them back from US working class pensions at bargain rate -- and take massive capital gains in the cycle (you'll see the US Bankster Corporate gains publicly reported and bragged on soon after) (the “capital gains,” according to US richclass legal industrial complex law dictate, are not really gains, and are therefore taxed at an extremely low, atypical tax rate for so-called “non-income”).

US richclass held corporations “mass cleanse” and lay off US working class staff on a parallel with stock market “losses,” and redirect those salaries up to US richclass owners and executives. Unemployed US working class homes are in concert repossessed by US richclass banksters, and real estate markets are purged to revamp conglomerate profit schemes.

Then the cycle is replayed, replayed, and replayed (decade by decade -- no US working class catch on forever).

For this “market correction” or “recessionary” rip-off to occur, some effectively proven, fear-inducing announcement is released (in the case of August 2011, a credit rating “drop” -- although there are a thousand such fear-mongering, scamming public announcements).

The losers - as always in the cyclical scam - are US working class. US Richclass wins, as always, stealing hundreds of billions from US working class pension funds and real estate holdings through this “recessionary” scam.

The insane lack of intelligence of the fed.

[Heretic]

Low to no interest rates from the Fed.

$85 Billion per month of QE by Ben Bernanke.

QE is artificially inflating a speculative bubble of the Fed's creation.

We all know what happened the last time a reckless Democrat government fueled a speculative bubble in the stock market.

Whatever you have in the markets, SELL NOW.

We could easily see the Dow crash down below 10,000 any time.

Cheap money, and the understanding that it can't last. So long as your not the last one left holding the debt, there is some serious money to be made on the fluctuations. Make the money while you can. It's a speculators wet dream.

[David von Rudisill]

Cheap money from the Federal Reserve and speculators driving up the market. Lots of people are trying to make quick money.

[Liberal Smasher]

Their hoping that retail investors will join this fake asse rally so that they can destroy their savings. Don't do it.
