Norcini - Trading “Extremely Violent” & Will End in “Disaster”

"Initially you had money rushing into stocks and commodities with almost everything trading higher across the board. But for the last two days traders have looked at the data and jettisoned stocks and commodities. The bottom line is you are seeing these very large swings of say 2% to 3% per day in key commodities such as copper and silver.
We are also seeing big swings across the grain markets as well. Huge upside moves are followed by huge downside moves intraday. These false buy and sell signals and wild swings have been wreaking havoc in these markets and crushing to many traders.
In my opinion, the Fed and the Working Group on Financial Markets have been actively manipulating key markets. The Fed has been doing this manipulation in an attempt to push investors back into the stock market and out of commodities and hard assets.
Bernanke assists in this manipulation by jawboning key markets. As an example, if the commodities are showing too much strength, he or another member of the Fed will come out and sound hawkish. The Working Group on Financial Markets then goes in and starts putting heavy pressure on key commodities, which triggers a cascade of sell orders. 
This is, effectively, a modern day version of price controls...."
