Insiders Selling Big Time

Posted By Mark Keitel

Exhibit A
The US government gives CitiBank, AIG, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and CIT group trillions of tax payers’ dollars for fear of a financial melt-down

Exhibit B
On or about March 7th President Obama makes a bold statement- Now is the time to invest in the stock market since it is at a historic low


Exhibit C
Market starts it rally beginning of March and continues

Exhibit D
S&P 500 comprised of some 500 stocks has 5 stocks that account for about 30% of the volume in the rally



Manipulation?
Plunge Protection Team? ( not a debate here if this exists or not )
Coincidence?
Can the markets keep moving up with such a shallow reaching rally?

Why stocks might not fall...

Posted By Mark Keitel

The stock market fall in 1987- Dow fell for 13 days a huge - 30%
The one 22% loss was a one day event!
Found its bottom after 45 days and -33%
442 days later the Dow was higher than it was at the beginning of the fall.

Next why did the Markets crash on the one day in 1987
The cause was written to be two individuals who knew where the protective stops were. The major brokerage houses had insurance below these levels and in pre-market these two people brought the pre-market below this level. At open the electronic sell triggers kicked in and the selling frenzy began.

If you believe that this is the same as what happened now that is alright.

You are correct and only talking about a slice of the real deficit. The real total deficit is pegged at about 25 trillion as of last month.

Lets not forget all the jobs that were suppose to be created as promised by Obama if the government spent trillions

The chart (below) shows three lines:
1. The incoming Obama Administration's projections for what the unemployment rate would be if no stimulus was enacted in the depths of the financial crisis (light blue).
2. The Obama Administration's projections for what the unemployment rate would be with the President's stimulus plan (dark blue).
3. The actual unemployment rate (through early 2011).
The actual unemployment rate in the chart, you will note, is higher than the "nightmare scenario" initially envisioned by the Obama Administration (with no stimulus). In either case--stimulus or no stimulus--the unemployment rate was supposed to be down to 6% by now. And it's actually above 8%.

As the chart makes instantly crystal clear, the Obama administration drastically underestimated how bad the economy was and drastically overestimated its ability to do something about it.
As a result of this, President Obama over-promised and under-delivered on the single most important challenge of his Presidency.
