Historically, most financial market investors have operated with a mind-set that the financial markets are essentially controlled/influenced by fundamentals and technicals. On whether an investor should be buying or selling a particular item, some persons would add something called a gut feeling to the mix. But generally, the question of worthiness has depended on the fundamentals and technicals.
A Change
But slowly, in the 1930s, a new feature was added in the currency markets with something that could be called intervention by the Fed/Treasury as a result of legislation passed in the 1930s which authorized something called the “Exchange Stabilization” fund or system to use a vast sum of Federal Reserve Notes to influence, control and participate in the currency markets (this thing was discussed in Goldsmiths, Part I).
We can be sure that the Fed/Treasury has fully exploited their power and authority under this system to manipulate and control world currencies ever since the 1930s. And we can also be sure that insiders with the Fed/Treasury have tipped off their cousins, relatives and friends with secret information on what was coming down the pike. This allows this band of crooks to continuously make gobs and gobs of money as the world currencies are manipulated and controlled.
Then in 1988, Ronald Regan did his part by establishing the “Working Group on Financial Stability” (per executive order 12631 on Mar 18, 1988, popularly known as the Market Control Unit or the Plunge Protection Team [PPT]). This unit of the Fed/Treasury operates in collusion with the market-makers (the stock and commodity brokers making the markets on the major financial exchanges) to buy or sell certain stocks, bonds, currencies and/or commodities at certain times (also as discussed in the Goldsmiths, Part I).
As was true with the Exchange Stabilization Fund, the insiders with the PPT also have the privilege of tipping off and keeping their cousins, relatives, friends and associates informed on what the PPT will do at a particular moment in time. These tip offs allow this cabal/combine to work together to not only control the markets but it also allows the insiders to make barrels and barrels of money and profits (especially so since the whole manipulating program is directed, controlled and coordinated by the powerful House of Rothschild).
Furthermore, as discussed in the earlier Goldsmiths studies, one has to accept the reality that the controlled media powers, the various exchanges and even the forces of government are all on the side of the plutocratic manipulators (because they are cousins, relatives, friends, colleagues or simply robot workers who are hired to take orders and do as they are told). Remember, Bloomberg is always on the side of the manipulators in making reports to the public.
Most people can easily cite the tragedy of the manipulated government statistics to prove how the government forces work with the manipulators. Otherwise, in Goldsmiths, Part VII, I cited what the president did with wheat in the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust fund in early April 2008. He sold $200 million worth of wheat on the open market to collapse the wheat prices.
This was a grand act of manipulation by the US president to literally screw the US farmers, most of whom voted for him. He should have been impeached and removed from office over this adventure. But then, most of the US Congress is controlled by the same plutocratic masters that control the US presidency. Hence that option was out.
So while there was the historical relevance of fundamentals and technicals, they became less important as the interventionalists assumed center stage to take over much or perhaps even all of the financial markets involving commodities, currencies, and stocks. I submit that today the driving force in the markets is this cabal of insiders who have the unlimited funding of the Fed to intervene at will and make items either go up or down.
While there is no denying that the role of fundamentals was historically of profound importance, one can make a case that the role of the so-called technical analysis was more limited.
The importance of the technicals is that there are perhaps a hundred or more different types of analyses. At any given moment in time, on a given item, it is easy to find technical support to either buy or sell the item. It is sort of like statistics. The analysts can make the technicals say about whatever they want. The same is true with the statisticians who work to compile statistics on the operations of the government.
Even in a collapsing bear market, one can build a case of reaching a so-called over-sold level. The same is true with an over-bought level in a bull market.
The point that must be made is that the so-called technicals are ballooned up by analysts who want to sell their services to the public. They try to make out that they have a special technical analysis or slant which gives them an advantage over their competing analysts. Hence, they use this pitch to try to get customers for their services.
But for all that these analysts pretend to exist; one can also usually find a contrary analysis which offers a different conclusion. Thus, I am hesitant about the value of technicals, even in a free market situation. And in a manipulated and controlled market, the value of technicals is very limited (since the manipulators can make or break a market about whenever they choose and regardless of the technicals).
As described in the Goldsmiths, Part XIV, there are some brokers on the scene who are linked in with the Rothschild directed cabal (usually cousins, relatives, colleagues, etc) to share in the plunder and rip-off of investors. Some of these persons actually make recommendations (often good recommendations based on tip-offs of what is coming down the pike; but sometimes deceptive traps to help pull the suckers in for the hit).
It is interesting that when these brokers take a position on a given item, they almost always justify their position on the basis of alleged technicals. Of course, they don’t come out and say the manipulators are planning a strike on the item. They are far more subtle and deceptive in their approach.
Hence, they build a case for a market move based on a so-called technical analysis for the targeted item to either go up or down to meet its potential target price. As a minimum, these so-called technical analyses help the manipulators when they do strike a given item by offering some ridiculous nonsensical justification for the move which the manipulators would soon force on the market.
The value of the fundamentals is stronger. But even here, in a manipulated and controlled market, the driving force is not the fundamentals; but instead it is the interventionalists. If we operated on the basis of fundamentals, the US dollar could not possibly be at 75, 77 or 80 on the index. If we operated on the basis of fundamentals, gold, silver and oil would be in the sky instead of down where they are.
The Interventionalists
The point is that the driving force in the markets right now is the interventionalists (although it must be said that whenever the interventionalists back off and leave the markets or a given item alone, the markets or item may then in time revert to the influence of the fundamentals/technicals).
Since the Fed has virtually unlimited sums of fiat US dollars to play with, they can easily make almost anything go up or down at will whenever they choose to intervene. And if the Fed/Treasury lacks the resources or power to drive a given item up or down, the interventionalists can have the US president intervene (as Bush did with the wheat back in April 2008); or in the case of currencies, they can demand that other central banks enter the currency markets to manipulate a given item up or down.
And since the fat cat plutocrats, who own the Fed and control the US government, also own and control other foreign central banks and governments, they can all work together to fulfill the wishes of their secret behind-the-scenes owners (who are led by the House of Rothschild fat cats).
The point is that today, in 2008, the markets are at the mercy and wishes of the plutocratic masters who rule and direct things.
So what role does the fundamentals, technicals and even gut feelings have to do with prices on the financial exchanges? I submit that all of these factors are subservient to the powers of the manipulators whenever they choose to intervene to work a given item, up or down, however they choose.
