absolutely.........................................
the markets are manipulated, and one of teh way the americans can correct its trillion deficit is to manipulate the markets. - which means that morons will sell the dollar when it is weak, and buy when it is strong - that way the Yanks get the money for free!!!

Got it mate!!!
 
More a case of "markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" , than a case of manipulation.

Anyway, define manipulation. If you think certain market participants are "artificially" moving prices or keeping them above a certain level so what? Some players have the size to do this, welcome to the markets chump. Happens right the way through from tiny iliquid AIM stocks all the way up to FX.
