There remains no price discovery mechanism, therefore it is not a "market". The banks are insolvent carrying worthless toxic assets at face value (not marked to market) and same assets are planted in the foundation of gov't employee pension funds. Welcome to hell, personally I'm not invested in hell, I'm only here for the theater. By the way, I worked as a self employed series 7 licensed registered rep in New York State from 1995-2000. This game has been dead for decades, 1980 to be accurate. Not one dollar of growth in GDP since 1980 when analyzed by cutting out the deficit spending.

Question: "I mean, what could possibly go wrong?"

Answer: "The ozone layer was deliberately destroyed by over 70 years of geoengineering, and the globally implemented deficit spending, QE, and every other machination is of no cost because it's printed out of thin air and there was never any intention to pay any of the debt. The decision was made long ago to destroy the human population, their preference to pretend to initiate a nuclear war and then nations will nuke their own urban cities while blaming some one else. The "market" is simply nonsensical distraction. Everything you love will be taken away. The apocalypse has been implemented under compartmental security. In the mean time the sheep are free to shear their lives away. However no evidence exists that everlasting life is avoidable. It's never really over. The human life-form is over rated. Those who have lived in pursuit of infinite truth will have superior wisdom earned to make best decisions when they are released. The psychopaths will never win. Love each other and live harmonious."
