105 percent of the most recent upswing in the market has been occuring in the overnight futures. If you bought the Dow stocks in the last week at the open and sold at the close the same day, you would've lost money. This market is highly manipulated if you're a short-term investor/trader/speculator. Be careful and be aware that markets can be manipulated or managed to some degree.
