5. I think that nails it.
Imagine the huge jump in the DOW and NASDAQ after all this cash starts pumping in. Two days later when the big boys grab the cash and run things start to collapse. Well, the big holders in the market can make a killing. While the little new marketers don't have a mechanism to sell off and gain some of the profits. Even if they knew how I wonder if they would be able?

Any info on this? Could I go to a webpage and move my cash from IBM to Enron? I would think it would be like a giant 401K. How quickly could I switch between categories? Would I have control over individual holdings?

Or would we see something like the GOP100 and the gov decides to add stocks to the index as the lobbyist see fit? Hey, Halliburton just got added, two days later the VP sells off his shares.

Any details on this plan? I imagine the plan is roses and candy when the results might be something very different.
