Plunge Protection Team (PPT) - what would you do here if you
were Powell and had a PPT on hand? Not saying he definitely does,
just hypothetically. I personally would make an argument it's in
the interest of national security to push the market through the
200 MA and keep it there for 3 days or so. After that, I'd
let it ride for a while. It's not like they don't know about tech
analysis and rules based funds out there that will inject liquidity
above the 200.
That's making an assumption they want the market up. I'm not
convinced PPT is driving this move at all. Don't worry when it
tanks,,they will say sorry on tv. Sort of

I don't think they want it up in the medium term...but I think
they would like some help from external sources to keep in up
between now and November. National security reasons.
I haven't met one long term investor (everyday passive)
concerned now that it has recovered some because "it always comes
back" and "patience is a virtue" and "don't worry it will all work
out."
The same people will call for the government heads when it tanks
again. No personal responsibility. Plays out again and again. I do
hope it doesn't tank because many will be hurt and may not recover
quickly if at all.
People will elect a new President and the cycle continues.
Meanwhile the spending never ends. Doesn't matter who gets elected,
they all spend.

I completely agree. I'm not be arbitrary with my comments either
though. Our 401K based retirement system puts a LOT of people
at risk when it comes to bad policy. A market failure would be
construed as a national security issue. After 17 years in Naval
Spec Ops I graduated top of my class with a degree in finance, a
CFP, etc.....but it was 2009. So I went to work for the only place
hiring....the Fed Gov...while I grew my personal practice / RIA.
Needless to say, with my unique background, the promotions in Fed
Gov never stopped. I'm out now, but I did nearly 30 in the Fed Gov,
much of it at fairly high levels, and I know about how things work
during various "situations." At the end of the day, they are
just people. AND, unfortunately, they often have much Less talent
and technology backing them up than you might imagine.

I'm going purely on facts, we haven't balanced a budget in how long? Why are we in this situation?
Our family serves active duty.
We need to seriously clean house. The entrenched party heads aren't able to do what needs done. Both sides.
