tteddy1, what do you mean "could be". We are all along for the ride. The specialists dictate the direction of the market and what goes up and what goes down. There are not market forces at work, unless you call the MMs and specialists the market forces.

These financial elite let us play because we give them our money. they increase market value so that we will continue to be happy playing.

On the bright side, the way I figure it is that the market will always go up because the stock specialists want us to continue playing.

We have no say in this.
