"At 8 o' clock tonight, the American people will know Saddam Hussein has committed his final act of defiance," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said in an afternoon news briefing.

This is as close as it gets to declaring war. I will pray for our military tonight. May God Bless them.

>> this rally up to an including today can NOT be put on the PPT. <<<

Steve, I do not see any other explanation for the type tape action we see. Explain to me why the tick is acting the way it has been. Puplava seems to sum it up; " Bulls seem to have no problem; for them intervention or no intervention, there is always a reason to be buying stocks valuations or poor earnings aside."

I wonder if you have read this commentary from Puplava? http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=852797
If you have I would be interested in what you disagree with.

"also we have not even come close to matching the ramps in july and october of last year. Were those the work of PPT as well?"

steve...

Without a doubt, yes. I said so at the time (and predicted the day before that it was going to happen), and continue to believe it now. Both the July and October "bottoms" were artificial and created by the PPT stepping in to stop a potential waterfall drop in the markets and especially to save the money center banks.

If you are familiar with trading patterns in various stocks (tic by tic, not macro), there is no other explanation for the jamming that goes on when the PPT is coming in with both feet unless you accept the premise that everybody all decided at the exact same time to buy a select group of stocks and futures (at the same instant) and were determined to pay the highest price possible in doing so - and then kept repeating the process time after time.
