Frank007I agree completely with your take on American manipulation but l hope you consider all factors involved .Not just the disgusting vote hungry Democrats but their paid hacks The EIA and the API who post scam and false builds to pander to who pays hem , it reminds me of the Rating Agencies ,S and P , Moodys total crookswho precipitated the 2008 Financial collapse by giving a Triple A rating to CDOs they knewwere junk but , hey let's give it a thumbs up since we want that continuing revenue from malfaisant banks.Then there is the big Hedge funds and Oil traders that want a continued volatile market daily to buy , sell short go long to pad their criminal pockets , not that Biden would ever go after those crooks , easier to screw shareholders who actually put real money to work in the economy, it's much better to support Unions and Government workers , over paid don't really contribute and could care less since they have over the top pensions waiting for them.Most of them are not aware of again don't care that those pension funds do invest in the Market.Similiar scenario in Canada but you never seem to Pin the Tail on the Liberal Donkey .
