[FoRK] Stock manipulation too cool for kindergarten

[Adam L Beberg]

So the computers are in such complete and total dominance of stock 
prices, they appear to have gotten bored and started drawing pictures 
with the bid/ask like a 2 year old with a Spirograph. Profoundly 
illegal, but not new.

This is how Goldman Sachs alone pulls $100 million PER DAY out of 
fireman pensions and grandma's 401k, and the other big firms do the 
same. Heheh suckers, corporatism rocks ;)

Of course one baby boomer in Nantucket sells their 401k and we get a 10% 
flash crash, but that seems OK. As long as 3+ baby boomers don't sell at 
the same time, the markets will stay above zero ... for a few more 
milliseconds.

You have to respect a scam so elegant and smooth. The sheep actually 
think they can take their money back out of the market. Muhahahaha.
