Market Manipulation [View all]

Are billionaires and institutional investors or the government itself, propping up the stock market?

* Every major economic indicator is negative
* VIX is over 30
* Oil is over $100
* We are on the verge of ground war in Iran
* Al companies are hanging on by a thread

What could possibly be keeping the Dow in a positive position? I can only believe it's extensive and costly market manipulation but if so, how much longer can they keep it up?
