dow, page-3

Dow futures have been absolutely useless in recent times - only serve to unbalance world markets that trade while they are down. Half the time they point DOWN the US goes UP and vice verse - like flipping a coin.

It is the US futures that are responsible for spooking the entire world markets tonight - and the futures only represent the guesses of sometimes as few as a hundred traders.

If you want to be able to shape the world markets single handed, just put an outrageous call bid on the DOW futures early on before there is much to counterbalance it, which, if far out enough and moderately big, can swing the futures quite a few points and start a cascade. Once other world markets get wind of the fall their crash further fuels the fall in the US market futures and the vicious cycle begins. No doubt the majors (and probably also organised criminals-
also known as brokers) do this from time to time to either sell there stock at higher prices or load up cheap.
