Larry Levin "....this market continues to be propped up by government intervention and manipulation and unfortunately as that continues to happen this market can go highrer the government has been doing a good job of keeping it that way no matter what the real underlying current is. ...(Questio CNBC: What about the second half?) Levin: "If the government can keep putting out all these IOUs and printing money, I guess not. Many professional traders would have told you that this market should not continue to move up as it has; move up 4 months in a row basically months ago, ... You're gonna have to pin it on Obama and his staff that they've kept this market propped up the way they have......They're doing a good job Every single day we have some backstop from the government These are NOT free markets anymore. "
