The Stock Market Plunge Protection Team: The Working Group on Financial Markets, colloquially known as the “Plunge Protection Team,” is a government task force established in the wake of the 1987 stock market crash to coordinate responses to financial crises. Conspiracy theorists allege that the Plunge Protection Team manipulates stock prices and intervenes in financial markets to prevent catastrophic crashes and maintain investor confidence. They argue that these interventions distort market fundamentals and create artificial bubbles, leading to systemic instability and moral hazard. While the existence of the Plunge Protection Team is well-documented, its activities and influence remain shrouded in secrecy, fueling speculation and skepticism among investors and analysts.
