Well-Known Financial Analyst Says PPT Manipulates the S&P 500
Frequent Bloomberg and CNBC commentator Scott Nations, President of Fortress Trading - a Chicago-based firm that trades options and futures - said in a CNBC interview that the PPT (Plunge Protection Team) manipulates the S&P 500.
This isn't big news, but it is impressive that Nations discussed the PPT on a mainstream news program.
