Here is the reason the stock markey went down the first week of the year.

The crash certainly wasn't manipulated by "big oil". Remember how conspiracy theorists used to always blame the big oil companies for the high price of oil. Those people have been definitively proven wrong.

So if you really want to see how they are manipulating it then just do a lot of research on the last few months of 2015 and that first few weeks of 2016.

I told the Cabal and the Illuminati to take it down after Christmas because I had a bad Christmas dinner. Oops now I said it and all the conspiracy theorists are now proven correct. Big oops.

Maybe it's time to buy Gold and Silver.

I disagree. The question that should be asked is what does it mean for the future of generations to come. I don't for a second believe that what is important is how I can benefit of the misery of others. Not even something that ever enters into my thought process.

The market has been going steadily downward.

High: 5/21/2015 Dow closed at 18,312.39.

Today: Dow at 16,152.92.

The world economies are slowing down.
The central banks of the world just cannot keep up the perception that all is well.

Granted they did avoid a global depression but we're didn't bounce back and we aren't surging like the MSM seem to report.

I'd call it a depression.

Officially, the "Great Recession" started 12/07 - ended 06/09. Traditionally, depressions are defined by 4 consecutive down quarters.

I don't think it's over.
