Makes a good argument as to why there is no such thing as a "free market." By controlling supply or demand (or both), the manipulator profits. Pretty good read for those who are open to possiblitilies:

    Besides no free markets we also have:

    -there are no investments any more, it's all about speculation.
    -there is no such thing as a risk free investment, not cash, not bonds, not anything. Well, the one exception mentioned in the article were the banks getting 3% interest from the FED which is then leveraged up 20X to make 60% on the taxpayers. About as risk free as you can get.

    Investments have always been nothing more than speculation.
