I find it very far-fetched. I'm sure that Bushbaby and, more importantly,
his handlers want to help the stock market as much as possible (as with NMD
and the tax-cut plan), but they are unlikely to try to fine-tune "the
market." That's because no-one can predict the stock market except those
with a lot of inside info (and I doubt that _anyone_ has inside info about
large chunks of the market or the market as a whole). No-one could predict
that the stock market would rise due to the bombing of Iraq.  Further, I'm
sure they're more interested in helping the rich as a whole -- and their
friends and political allies -- than the stock market _per se_.
