A real stock market goes up and down based on real things. Like earnings, economic news and other normal factors. When a stock market can drop in one day on the whiff of an interest rate hike, erasing over 40 days of neutral to upside in a single thrust, you know something is definitely wrong. That is what happened this past Friday. The stock market has been in a 1.75% range for over 40 days, and one person simply suggests the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates and the whole world comes crashing down. This isn't a stock market, it is a sham created by the Federal Reserve through manipulation. 

When someone or somebody manipulates something so drastically that it no longer trades on fundamentals, it can crash on the simple suggestion the Federal Reserve is taking away the drugs. The Federal Reserve is responsible for every bubble in history, the most recent was the financial collapse. Let's not forget that after the tech bubble burst in the late 1990's and the economy struggled in the early 2000's, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates making home buyers see how cheap it was to buy a home. Thus the bubble formed and eventually burst. It is just a simple repeat here. Thank you Federal Reserve. Your wise actions have made the world much, much better (sarcasm). The bottom line is, as a stock investor and trader, we trade anything. This just gives smart investors more opportunities to profit. However, you have to feel bad for average investors who get their nuts handed to them, losing their hard earned money.
