Is The Stock Market Rigged?

This month marks the fifth anniversary of the current bull market on Wall Street, making it one of the longest and strongest in history. Yet U.S. stock ownership is at a record low and less than half of Americans trust banks and financial services. And in the last two weeks, the New York attorney general and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission in Washington have both launched investigations into high-frequency computerized stock trading that now controls more than half the market.
For those of you who do own and trade stock (myself soon included), this is a good read.

 
I don't think the market itself is rigged. Unless you include insider trading part of being "rigged". There is a LOT of insider trading going on. That, and a lot of technical analysis on mysterious price moves that exacerbates the effect of the insider trading.
