Tell me that central banks are not deciding on the s&p indices level? I have stopped trading stocks, thankfully, nearly flat with my capital. On days when it looks like long positions were going to take a beating, at the end of the day, nearly flat, on days when it looks loke short positions were going to make some dough, at the end of the day, nearly flat. So why bother trading, the only people that makes money from all the retail investors trading are the people assoociated with tradng commissions.

Can a proclaimation be made that the indices are "MANAGED"? Waiting for the days when the market indices will be allowed to find its own levels, without any artificial interventions.

Can we call this capitalistic communism or communism capatilstic?

IMO, we can say, it is the central banks stock markets, not an investment risk/reward markets. Don't know what it is, but, it is NOT captitalism, imo.
