If you can "move the world markets", IMO, you either:

a). Are talking some kind of technicality and exaggerating greatly in all aspects of that claim. (As an option trader I can and do "move the market" a tiny bit for a short time IN ONE OR TWO OPTIONS ON A SINGLE STOCK once in a while with a big trade (as I presume, market makers adjust their quotes in reaction to my order). But so what? So do millions of other schmoes who trade.

b). You're just making stuff up, especially when you say "the world markets". If you could meaningfully move the world markets at a whim, why not arbitrage and reliably make a fortune daily? (Buy low, sell high. It's not advanced calculus if you can move the markets).

c). You have delusions of grandeur.

d). (My guess). You are yanking our collective chains to see if anyone rises to the bait. If so, you got me, but this seemed too outlandish (even on THIS site) to just let pass.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.

If your chain is being yanked by my comments, I would suggest that the problem lies with you. I simply tell it like it is.

That said, I am here to use you people as guinea pigs...thus in the meantime, I will have to devise a non chain yanking method of persuading...takes time...this game aint easy...or else we would not have the spectacle of the major banks holding their trading butts in this volatile market.
