Whats up with the stock market? Manipulation?

The stock market has been sinking the past week, 1,000 points.

but just today it started sinking very fast, then it just flat lined....

What could cause a flat line? I have never seen that.

Markets closed early so the traders could go out and spend all their clients' mon . . . er . . . so they can go home and watch football.

they will pause trading so buyers can organize funds to begin a upward trend. some times though they stop trading to prevent a major sell off. when the market reaches a certain point the trading computers and human traders will start selling almost everything they have to make maximum money

Minsky moment

Markets have more manipulation to them than a your mother's cookie recipe.

Simplified version. Organize a collapse, buy up stocks that are low due to weak performance in the organized collapse, then that buying makes it seem like it is a good deal, others buy into the sham & buy too, sell the stocks when it is high and before the company release the bad news that they didn't make 15% pro-fit for last quarter, only 14.8% pro-fit. Stock falls, buy the stock now that it is lower, manipulate another rise by stating that expected profits are going to be lower due to the 14.8%, the #s come in better, stocks rise, another sale...

Investment banking has bought and paid for every government in the 1st world, and it is the greatest Ponzi scheme every.
