Selling by the Top 0.1% on the day of the collapse was actually slightly below their average volume of excessive selling during the first ten days after the Lehman event. Furthermore, as indicated earlier in the research, the excessive selling by the Top 0.1% persisted right through until the end of 2008. This is not indicative of either "fear" or "market-timing". Rather, it is exactly what we would expect to see if some group was deliberately creating a crash: relentlessly pounding the markets with excessive selling day after day, week after week, month after month.

... [further,] the data only covers what the Top 0.1% sold out of their own holdings. It doesn't examine, for example, how much additional short-trading was done by these Predators. Also, large corporations and institutions are significant shareholders in our markets. The Top 0.1% own/control many if not most of these large corporations and institutions. The data does not include how much additional indirect selling was engineered by these oligarchs. The relentless pattern of "excessive selling" that was indicated by the research, while significant, can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg here.

... The Top 0.1% create our "bubbles", and they create our "crashes", and they do so solely for their own, personal profit -- heedless of the millions of lives which they damage and destroy with each of their cycles-of-crime. We already had proof that they created the bubbles. Their #1 henchman, B.S. Bernanke has spent years boasting of the "wealth effect" produced by his insane monetary policy: the most-extreme money-printing operation ever seen in the history of our species.
