S&P short term cycle swings

[dapro]

I hear what your saying. However, your scenario smacks too much of manipulation which is not good for the market as who would invest in something that is "rigged"? Also, who in their right mind would believe that after all that we have been through, all is well (based on the sham stress tests which are done on a regular basis anyway when banks are audited by the FDIC) and the market should go straight up like it has? Some bank stocks are almost back to their pre valuation prices (and thats not factoring in the major dilution). In other words, what the hell can you believe?
