Internet trawling has been happening for ages just like gold price manipulation or LIBOR manipulation.
The only difference of late is that these facts are no longer viewed as tinfoil (conspiracy) theories as reality strikes back after years of effective suppression. The internet is definitely giving top secret corners a run for their money as whistle blowers get more bold at spilling the beans. When someone has nothing to lose they become unstoppable leaving those exposed with a heavy damage control task.
Enjoying these shows...$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Send in the clowns. No wait - they're already here! "Despite record unemployment in the continent, anemic growth at best and a manufacturing sector in contraction, French President Francois Hollande said this weekend that the euro zone crisis is over. "What you need to understand here in Japan is that the crisis in Europe is over," he told an audience of business leaders organized by the Nikkei media group in Japan on Saturday...."

Journalist unions call media strike to protest ERT closure as employees continue broadcasting - http://ekathimerini.com/...te1_1_12/06/2013_503983
Quote:
The Athens Journalists’ Union (ESIEA) called a 48-hour strike from 6 a.m. on Wednesday on TV and radio stations to protest the closure of state broadcaster ERT.
ESIEA said newspaper journalists would strike on Thursday for 24 hours.
There was also a six-hour stoppage on TV and radio on Tuesday after the government announced it would closing ERT and later opening a new broadcaster with fewer employees.
Despite the signal to ERT’s TV channels being lost shortly after 11 p.m. on Tuesday, employees at the broadcasters headquarters in Athens and Thessaloniki refused to leave the buildings and managed to resume broadcasts via digital TV and the Internet.
The Communist Party (KKE) also offered the frequency of its TV station, 902, to rebroadcast ERT’s programs.
Thousands of people protesting the broadcaster’s closure had gathered outside ERT’s headquarters in northeastern Athens.
2013 is not yet half way, but the drama from cyprus and the rest is a lethal cocktail (spain, italy, greece, turkey, egypt, n.korea, NSA leaks, record fines for global banks etc)... $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Warren Buffett, who has been a cheerleader for U.S. stocks for quite some time, is dumping shares at an alarming rate. He recently complained of “disappointing performance” in dyed-in-the-wool American companies like Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Kraft Foods. In the latest filing for Buffett’s holding company Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett has been drastically reducing his exposure to stocks that depend on consumer purchasing habits. Berkshire sold roughly 19 million shares of Johnson & Johnson, and reduced his overall stake in “consumer product stocks” by 21%. Berkshire Hathaway also sold its entire stake in California-based computer parts supplier Intel. With 70% of the U.S. economy dependent on consumer spending, Buffett’s apparent lack of faith in these companies’ future prospects is worrisome. Unfortunately Buffett isn’t alone. http://www.moneynews.com...DE=1393F-1#ixzz2VtRkwaXJ"There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

The article talks about how the 3 are selling "their stocks" but it doesn't say what percentage of their portfolio these stocks hold, and it doesn't say what they are doing with their funds, kinda hard to believe that they would put their money under the mattress. Its a known fact that Buffett only invests in US stocks, so if this article was to be believed, where is he then putting his funds? Then I know for a fact Paulson just bought a big chunk of FNMA and FMCC preferred shares. They may have sold their consumer stocks but it doesn't mean they sold off all their stocks.

Quote:“Investors appear to have decided that the mere prospect of an exit strategy is enough of a reason to look at pulling money off the table on a fairly comprehensive scale,” said Michael Hewson, a market strategist at CMC Markets Plc in London. “Investors have finally woken up to the fact that current stock valuations are not supported by fundamentals in the current low growth environment, and all the QE in the world can’t address that particular issue.” European Stocks Drop as World Bank Cuts Global OutlookQuote:Emerging markets from Brazil to India took steps to stem an outflow of capital as concern mounts that developed nations are approaching the beginning of the end of an era pumping unprecedented liquidity.

Quote: Commodities Futures Trading Commission head Bart Chilton was on CNBC this morning and basically said.. 'welp, this sucks guys, but you're on your own for now.'
That is the reality for most fin markets thrive on manipulation.
Wondering why lamestream media is telling the sheep the truth of late about the market hand...
