The Plunge Protection Team

[Heavy Metal]

The Gold Bug's arch nemesis - SUPER FED AND THE PLUNGE PROTECTION TEAM.

Faster than a stockbroker falling from a tall building.
Able to leap investor's confidence with a single click of a button.

Has the PPT done a Mr Incredible and come out of a long retirement to save the day????

Excellent find Liz. Correct me if Im wrong but we are in first time territory here. This kind of manipulation has to backfire big time I recon. Thats one mother of a band-aid.

At least Bush is consistent now doing for the world economy exactly what he has done for Government agency intelligence, counter terrorism and human rights.
